assert.notEqual()

assert.notEqual(actual, expected[, message])

Tests shallow, coercive inequality with the not equal comparison operator ( != ).

const assert = require('assert');

assert.notEqual(1, 2);
  // OK

assert.notEqual(1, 1);
  // AssertionError: 1 != 1

assert.notEqual(1, '1');
  // AssertionError: 1 != '1'

If the values are equal, an AssertionError is thrown with a message property set equal to the value of the message parameter. If the message parameter is undefined, a default error message is assigned.
