(T/F) Using NOT and != would return the same results.
For me, the answer is false but quizlet says true. I say false because status!=200 or NOT status=200 wouldn't necessarily lead to the same results.

The correct answer is False.

After having a look at the content in Quizlet and seeing many poorly worded, inaccurate, and wrong information, I recommend you stay away from it, at least for Splunk information.
