Arguments

X

scalar or vector or matrix of numbers, polynomials or rationals. It may also be a syslin list.

Y

Description

Subtraction

For numeric operands subtraction as its usual meaning. If one of the operands is a matrix and the other one a scalar then the operation is performed element-wise. For X - Y, if Y == [] or Y == [] then [] is returned;

Subtraction may also be defined for other data types through "soft-coded" operations (see overloading).

Examples

[1,2]-1
[]-2

%s-2
1/%s-2
