# std::ranges::not_equal_to

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | utility‎ | functional

Defined in header `<functional>` |  |
struct not_equal_to; |  | (since C++20)

Function object for performing comparisons. Deduces the parameter types of the function call operator from the arguments (but not the return type).

### Member types

Member type | Definition
`is_transparent` | /* unspecified */

### Member functions

operator() | checks if the arguments are not equal (public member function)

## std::ranges::not_equal_to::operator()

template< class T, class U > requires EqualityComparableWith<T, U> || /* std::declval<T>() == std::declval<U>() resolves to a built-in operator comparing pointers */ constexpr bool operator()(T&& t, U&& u) const; |  |

Compares `t` and `u`. Equivalent to return !ranges::equal_to{}(std::forward<T>(t), std::forward<U>(u));.

### Notes

Unlike std::not_equal_to, `std::ranges::not_equal_to` requires both `==` and `!=` to be valid (via the `EqualityComparableWith` constraint), and is entirely defined in terms of std::ranges::equal_to. However, the implementation is free to use operator!= directly, because those concepts require the results of `==` and `!=` to be consistent.
