# .!=(_:_:)

Pointwise compare not equal to.

## Declaration

```swift
static func .!= (a: Scalar, b: SIMD32<Scalar>) -> SIMDMask<SIMD32<Scalar>.MaskStorage>
```

## Discussion

Discussion Each lane of the result is true if a is not equal to the corresponding lane of b, and false otherwise. Equivalent to: var result = SIMDMask<MaskStorage>() for i in 0..<32 {   result[i] = (a != b[i]) }
