I have been searching around for a = with a dash in it?

Question

I was coding one day in LUA and was following the YouTube tutorial, yet the user used a ‘=‘ sign with a dash through it ‘/‘. How do I make that value? Is there a special way to type it in? I use Google and I did not find anything... Some people were saying a Boolean operator is the same but I used ‘==‘ in my code and it did not work?

Answer 3

There are special fonts that will combine a != into a single inequality sign, among other things. So it's just a visual thing so the code looks nicer and the code itself doesn't change.

Just google for "coding font with ligatures" or so and they will show up. I've been using Hasklig a while ago but that's mostly for Haskell.

I also think they don't work in all code editors.

Answer 4

≠ is same as not equal to "!="
