On an element-wise basis, returns 1 if and only if the first value is not equal to the second.
| Usage | Returns | Array.neq(right) | Array |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: left | Array | The left-hand value. |
right | Array | The right-hand value. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
var empty = ee.Array([], ee.PixelType.int8());
print(empty.neq(empty)); // []
print(ee.Array([0]).neq(ee.Array([1]))); // 1
print(ee.Array([1]).neq(ee.Array([1]))); // 0
print(ee.Array([1.1]).neq(ee.Array([1.1]))); // 0
print(ee.Array([1.1]).float().neq(ee.Array([1.1]))); // 1
print(ee.Array([1.1]).double().neq(ee.Array([1.1]))); // 0
print(ee.Array([1]).int8().neq(ee.Array([1]))); // 0
print(ee.Array([1]).int8().neq(ee.Array([1]).int32())); // 0
