Not really, since 3! does not equal 4.

3! = 3 x 2 x 1
That means 3! = 6 in my theory.

3! = 6, but 3 != 4.

!= means the same as ≠, which means not equal to.

Note the placement of the spaces. "!" is a mathematical operation, "!=" is not.

I noticed the placement of spaces.
I was just giving another example.
