I'm a RPG programmer through and through, however I have always
written != in my pseudo-code instead of <>. A carryover from some
other programming classes from school I suppose.
I have no problem with C syntax (other than things like ~ exclusive or, for
heaven's sake). I do wonder, though, why IBM chose the ¬ not symbol for CL.
Not being a mathematician, I had never seen that symbol before, and have
never used it anywhere else. (Misplaced on this RPG list, I realize, but it
fits the topic.) Actually, I like != (or even ¬=) better than <>. It's so
much more difficult to say less-greater than not-equal. :) In fact, now I
think about it, doesn't <> come from BASIC? Isn't it more or less exclusive
to BASIC and RPG? Not that that invalidates anything...
