so thats why != is used in programming, hence perhaps less ambigious.

how does <> define it mathematically?

<> would mathematically be greater than or less than - therefore, not equal to.

<> reminds me of ugly VB used by ugly ppl :p
!= is C and C++, the real languages out there :D

It's all arbitrary. But "!=" can be misinterpreted

If you say 5 != 4 It could be mistaken for 5! = 4

<> Can only mean one thing, greater than or less than.
