n does not equal 0. It could equal anything except zero.

â means "is not equal to" or "does not equal". That's why it's an equals sign with a slash through it. So while 2+2=5 is a false statement, "2+2â 5" is a true statement (i.e., it's true that two plus two does not equal 5).
The symbol for "greater than or equal to" is â¥
The symbol for "less than or equal to" is â¤
Though you might see some people typing these as >= and <=, respectively, since some people can't make the special characters when they're typing in certain places.

It is the sign for inequality. Usually there's an equal, greater, lesser, and not equal to. You have gotten the not equal to. So n is not equal to zero. Meaning that n can be greater or less than 0.

It means "not equal to". It is a good friend of > (greater than), < (less than), => (equal to or greater than), and on and on. It is part of a set of things called "comparison operators". Where you can accidentally get in some trouble is in the meaning of "=". In mathematics, it means "equal". In computer programming, it usually means "assign", as in X=5 means in program that you want to stuff a 5 into the place named X. In mathematics, it means that they are the same value. Confused? So are a lot of beginning computer programmers.

â always means "does not equal"
So, in this case, it means that n does not equal 0. Or, in other words, n can take any value other than 0. (So, n could be equal -1, 1, 100000, -500, or any other number, as long as the number is not 0)

It usually means that n may not equal zero. as in it is not allowed to equal zero. sometimes this is used to say that 4+3 "doesn't equal" 8
If you are very young. But in Applied Maths, it is usually almost always, just used for equations that don't work for zero values of the unknown variable.

â mean in n â 0 is n < > 0

I maybe wrong here but I think it means not equal to. # 01 means number 01. < means grater than ands > means less than (I could have them back to front thought). = a slash through something means NOT. There is a web site called www. lkandings .com and in that site is a link to several things like calulators and signs, might help going there and searching the links. Hopes I've helped Dave.

it means "doesn't equal." in that situation, it means n does not equal 0.
