VB's not equal operator <>

What the fuck Microsoft, why must everything you do be non-standard?

! factorial
= assignment

!= factorial assignment?

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-13 16:55

! is of the form
N!
Assignment requires lvalue = rvalue
N! is rvalue, therefore N!=val is incorrect.

Do you not realise that this is a programming board and this thread is about the <> operator as implemented in a programming language?

In a logic-based language, n!=69 might read as "n is some number such that its factorial is 69."

N!=val makes perfect sense as factorial assignment.  For instance, N!=3628800 sets N to 10.

N = NaN
NaN a Number

NaN is obviously not finite.

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-18 1:13

≶ and ≷ are obviously the correct operators to use. And possibly ≹.

N! is rvalue, therefore N!=val is incorrect.
in some languages everything is an lvalue.

Um, not every language takes after C's shitty wanna-be APL syntax.  <> has existed as BASIC's not-equal operator since like 1969; has been so throughout all the ROM and floppy disk based BASICs in the 70's and 80's, was that way in GW-BASIC, BASICA, and early + late versions of Qbasic.

> (number? (/ 0. 0.))
#t
(= (/ 0. 0.) (/ 0. 0.))
#f


Same fuckup as in JS. Oh well, at least equal? works.

= equal
/= not equal

Guess the language.

( scratchpad ) 0. 0. / number? .
t
( scratchpad ) 0. 0. / dup = .
t

but then there's this...
( scratchpad ) 0. 0. / dup <=> .
+gt+
( scratchpad ) 0. 0. / dup > .
f

Why is there so much fuckup with NaN? NaN should be a value such as Python's None or Scheme's #f, without operator gotchas. Moreover, NaN should be consistent with its semantics as a non-number.

A summary (with gory details nonetheless), and I know. But I'm using a high-level language, I want all of that abstracted and fixed in my Satori type system.

This may surprise you, but I actually wrote part of the IEEE-754 binary floating point standard.

Some of you are huge faggots.

The operator originated in 1964. It is standard.

In no other place does ! mean not except for faggy C syntax and those that copied it.

In VB Not is the operator for not. Why? Because that makes fucking sense.

Not a = b is the same as the faggy a != b.

Of you can do the a <> b because a cannot be greater then AND less than b.

Fucking stupid faggots.

After having browsed Reddit for a while, I felt the need to downmod you.

In any case, insert "No, you're the faggot" Banderas pic.
