Equality

To check if two Python values, or variables, are equal you can use ==. To check for inequality, you need !=. As a refresher, have a look at the following examples that all result in True. Feel free to try them out.

2 == (1 + 1)
"intermediate" != "python"
True != False
"Python" != "python"

When you write these comparisons in a script, you will need to wrap a print() function around them to see the output.
