# nlohmann::basic_json::operator!=
```
// until C++20
bool operator!=(const_reference lhs, const_reference rhs) noexcept; // (1)
template<typename ScalarType>
bool operator!=(const_reference lhs, const ScalarType rhs) noexcept; // (2)
template<typename ScalarType>
bool operator!=(ScalarType lhs, const const_reference rhs) noexcept; // (2)
// since C++20
class basic_json {
bool operator!=(const_reference rhs) const noexcept; // (1)
template<typename ScalarType>
bool operator!=(ScalarType rhs) const noexcept; // (2)
};
```
1. Compares two JSON values for inequality. Returns `!(lhs == rhs)` (until C++20) or `!(*this == rhs)` (since C++20).
- This means the comparison is simply the logical negation of `operator==`, including for special values like `NaN` and `discarded`.
1. Compares a JSON value and a scalar or a scalar and a JSON value for inequality by converting the scalar to a JSON value and comparing both JSON values according to 1.
## Template parameters
`ScalarType` : a scalar type according to `std::is_scalar<ScalarType>::value`
## Parameters
`lhs` (in) : first value to consider
`rhs` (in) : second value to consider
## Return value
whether the values `lhs`/`*this` and `rhs` are not equal
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Linear.
## Notes
Comparing `NaN` and `discarded`
Since `operator!=` is defined as `!(a == b)`, the behavior for special values follows that of `operator==`:
- For `NaN` values: `NaN == NaN` yields `false`, so `NaN != NaN` yields `true`.
- For `discarded` values: `discarded == x` yields `false` for any `x`, so `discarded != x` yields `true`.
## Examples
Example
The example demonstrates comparing several JSON types.
```
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
// create several JSON values
json array_1 = {1, 2, 3};
json array_2 = {1, 2, 4};
json object_1 = {{"A", "a"}, {"B", "b"}};
json object_2 = {{"B", "b"}, {"A", "a"}};
json number_1 = 17;
json number_2 = 17.000000000000001L;
json string_1 = "foo";
json string_2 = "bar";
// output values and comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << array_1 << " != " << array_2 << " " << (array_1 != array_2) << '\n';
std::cout << object_1 << " != " << object_2 << " " << (object_1 != object_2) << '\n';
std::cout << number_1 << " != " << number_2 << " " << (number_1 != number_2) << '\n';
std::cout << string_1 << " != " << string_2 << " " << (string_1 != string_2) << '\n';
}
```
Output:
```
[1,2,3] != [1,2,4] true
{"A":"a","B":"b"} != {"A":"a","B":"b"} false
17 != 17.0 false
"foo" != "bar" true
```
Example
The example demonstrates comparing several JSON types against the null pointer (JSON `null`).
```
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
// create several JSON values
json array = {1, 2, 3};
json object = {{"A", "a"}, {"B", "b"}};
json number = 17;
json string = "foo";
json null;
// output values and comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << array << " != nullptr " << (array != nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << object << " != nullptr " << (object != nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << number << " != nullptr " << (number != nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << string << " != nullptr " << (string != nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << null << " != nullptr " << (null != nullptr) << '\n';
}
```
Output:
```
[1,2,3] != nullptr true
{"A":"a","B":"b"} != nullptr true
17 != nullptr true
"foo" != nullptr true
null != nullptr false
```
## Version history
1. Added in version 1.0.0. Added C++20 member functions in version 3.11.0. Changed in version 3.13.0 to remove special-casing for `NaN` and `discarded` values; `operator!=` now consistently means `!(a == b)`.
