What does ~= actually mean and what is the difference from ==?

I have a code which checks for parts in region. But it only works with ~= and not ==. What is the difference between these two?

~= is "does not equal." so.

if 3 ~= 5 is true because 3 does not equal 5. read more about it here https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Conditional-Statements-in-Lua

== means EQUALS, so if 3 == 5 is not true because 3 is not 5

Thank you.

~= "Not equal comparator"

Example:

if 1 ~= 0 then
	print("1 Is not equal 0")
end

if 1 == 1 then
	print("1 Is equal 1")
end
