# .!=(_:_:) Pointwise compare not equal to. ``` static func .!= (a: Scalar, b: SIMD2) -> SIMDMask.MaskStorage> ``` ## 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() for i in 0..<2 { result[i] = (a != b[i]) } ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
