Equality Operator    --    test whether two values are equal or not


Syntax 
A = B
A <> B
  return BOOL

Description
These operators test for equality or not-equality. The first form returns true if A is equal to B, otherwise it returns false. The second form is the same as not(A=B). These operators signal an error if the types of A and B differ, or if they are ring elements belonging to different rings.

To compare two values using an ordering see Order Comparison Operators

Example 
/**/ 1=2;
false
/**/ 1<>2;
true
