    <p>Use the <b>&lt;&gt;</b> (inequality) <glossary tag="operator">operator</glossary> to compare two numbers or to compare two <glossary tag="string">strings</glossary>.</p><p/><p><b>Parameters:</b></p><p>The operands <i>value1</i> and <i>value2</i> can be numbers, <glossary tag="literal string">literal strings</glossary> of <keyword tag="characters">characters</keyword> (<glossary tag="delimit">delimited</glossary> with <glossary tag="double quote">double quotes</glossary>), or any sources of value.</p><p/><p><b>Comments:</b></p><p>When comparing strings, the  &lt;&gt; operator compares the two values character by character, using the ASCII value of each character. If the <b>caseSensitive</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> is true, the comparison between two <glossary tag="string">strings</glossary> treats uppercase letters as coming before lowercase letters, so "A" &lt;&gt; "a". If the <b>caseSensitive</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> is false, the comparison is not <href tag="../glossary/casedashsensitive.xml">case-sensitive</href>, so "a" is considered equivalent to "A".</p>
