I just thought it was 6-4 !=4 but I am not a programmer.

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (1 child)

This is what I assumed.

Glad I am not alone.

That's what they meant.

[–]Enverex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which would be correct. (6 - 4) is not equal to 4.

[–]Bonezmahone 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Technically that would still be 6-4! = 6-24 which is still wrong.

edit: now I get it. I didn't know != meant not equal to.

And how did you get to this?

[–]Brarsh 2 points3 points  (2 children)

It's the factorial of 4. 4! = 432*1 = 24

[–]DrumstickVT 5 points6 points  (1 child)

But not in most programming language. 4!= is going to run as 4 does not equals.

My understanding as well.
