/**
 * @file neq.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_NEQ opcode for inequality comparison in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_NEQ instruction, which checks if two values are not equal.
 * The values are popped from the stack, and the result (1 or 0) is pushed back.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Pops two values from the stack.
 * - Checks if the values are not equal.
 * - Pushes 1 (true) or 0 (false) onto the stack.
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits with an error if the operands are of incompatible types.
 *
 * Example:
 * - Bytecode: OP_NEQ
 * - Stack before: [42, 10]
 * - Stack after: [1]
