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).

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

template < class T, class U >
constexpr bool operator ( ) ( T && t, U && u ) const ;

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

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std:: equality_comparable_with < T, U > is satisfied.

Notes

Unlike std::not_equal_to , std::ranges::not_equal_to requires both == and != to be valid (via the equality_comparable_with constraint), and is entirely defined in terms of std::ranges::equal_to .
