title: Comparison with the Strict Inequality Operator

# --description--
The strict inequality operator (`!==`) is the logical opposite of the strict equality operator. It means "Strictly Not Equal" and returns `false` where strict equality would return `true` and *vice versa*. The strict inequality operator will not convert data types.
**Examples**
```js
3 !== 3 // false
3 !== '3' // true
4 !== 3 // true
```
# --instructions--
Add the strict inequality operator to the `if` statement so the function will return the string `Not Equal` when `val` is not strictly equal to `17`
# --hints--
`testStrictNotEqual(17)` should return the string `Equal`
```js
assert(testStrictNotEqual(17) === 'Equal');
```
`testStrictNotEqual("17")` should return the string `Not Equal`
```js
assert(testStrictNotEqual('17') === 'Not Equal');
```
`testStrictNotEqual(12)` should return the string `Not Equal`
```js
assert(testStrictNotEqual(12) === 'Not Equal');
```
`testStrictNotEqual("bob")` should return the string `Not Equal`
```js
assert(testStrictNotEqual('bob') === 'Not Equal');
```
You should use the `!==` operator
```js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/(val\s*!==\s*\d+)|(\d+\s*!==\s*val)/g).length > 0);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
// Setup
function testStrictNotEqual(val) {
if (val) { // Change this line
return "Not Equal";
}
return "Equal";
}
testStrictNotEqual(10);
```
# --solutions--
```js
function testStrictNotEqual(val) {
if (val !== 17) {
return "Not Equal";
}
return "Equal";
}
```
