What's the difference between "is not" and "!=" or they are the same thing?
The `==` operator tests equality. The `is` operator tests identity.
If you don't specifically intend to test for identity, use `==`. If you
don't know what identity tests are for (with the exception of testing
for None-ness), then you don't need it.
