Description 

The not_eq operator is an alternative representation of != (bitwise inequality). It tests for logical inequivalence. 

not_eq compares two expressions to determine whether or not they are the same.  

Therefore, 7 != 8 returns true, while 7 != 7 returns false. The same is true for any expression such as Smith != Smith. which returns false.  

In order to use the not_eq operator, you need to check the Enable new operator names option (the -VM compiler switch, available on the Compatibility page of the ProjectOptions dialog box).
