    <> means "not equal to".
    In other words, "if x < or > y".
    Or, "if X is less than or greater than y" - ie not equal to y.

    If you look through the rest of your source you'll find a label Skip_dp:. If
    Digit isn't equal to two, that line will make the program jump to Skip_dp
    and continue from there - skipping everything between the two.
