A "not" command in If Statements

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?


I'm not too familiar with turing so I'm asking:
is there a "not" command for if statements?
for example:
if  X "doesn't equal" Y Then

end if

Thanks for your help

There are two ways to do this:

var x : int := 5

if x not= 10 then
    put "a"
end if

if not (x = 10) then
    put "b"
end if

Turing also accepts the sqiggle (~) as 'not'

if this ~= that


Most languages use ! as not, Turing just likes to be different.

Turing also uses != in its language.

No it doesn't. Trying to run code with a != results in an invalid character error.

Really? ~= is equal to not=? Interesting...

Yup.  Consider it a shortcut, like procedure can be typed as proc, function as fcn, etc.
