# Not Equal ### Description Checks whether first argument is not equal to the second argument. ### any != any ```java Scalar != Scalar : Scalar Scalar != GroupedScalar : GroupedScalar GroupedScalar != Scalar : GroupedScalar GroupedScalar != GroupedScalar : GroupedScalar ``` Comparing if a Scalar\ is not equal to another Scalar\. Returns a Scalar\ either true if the first operator equals to the second otherwise false. If one argument is a Scalar, and the other one a GroupedScalar, then the operation is performed by taking the Scalar value and the value of each group value, which results another GroupedScalar (it has same group size, as the one from the input argument). If both arguments are GroupedScalar, then the operation is performed by taking values with same group key, which results in another Grouped Scalar (the group size is equal or smaller than the ones of the input arguments). ### Examples Check if the PowerConsumption is equals to the PowerProduction ```java $ChargeMode1 != $ChargeMode2 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
