| Description: | sub can be used to subtract numbers and arrays. If applied to numbers, sub returns the difference of the numbers. If one of the arguments is a double, the result is also a double. Applied to arrays, sub perfoms a per-component subtraction of the two arrays. The components must be numbers, however, integer and double values may be mixed. Note that the two arrays must be of the same size. | ||
