Jack Not Equal Expression?

[jrd]

What is/are the correct operator(s) to represent a "not equal" expression in Jack?

(For example, in other languages, I'm used to writing a != b)

However, in Jack, would this be correct in expressing "a not equals b"?

a ~= b

If not, can you pls clarify?  I don't see the "not equals" expression in the chapter examples.  Thx.

There is no "not equals" operator in Jack.

You need to use the unary "not" operator on an "equals" sub-expression:
    if (~(a=b)) {
        // Do something if 'a' does not equal 'b'.
    }

(This is also how you code <= and >=.)
