If the dumped code came with an accompanying matlab license, I would vote for learning
Matlab.... and along the way of that, rewriting the code in IDL. Having another tool in
the toolbox can only help with writing code in IDL.

~= is the "not equal to" relational operator (NE in IDL).

In IDL:

month_differ=(month_beg NE month_end)

and used thusly:

IDL> month_beg=2
IDL> month_end=12
IDL> month_differ=month_beg NE month_end
IDL> if ( month_differ ) then print, 'they are different'
they are different
