- Subtraction and Set Difference Operator
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subtraction
<exp1> - <exp2>
The - operator performs subtraction. The result depends upon the
operands. If either is real, the result is real; otherwise, the result
is integer. Note that subtraction is NOT commutative, that is, (A-B)
<> (B-A).
<exp1>,<exp2> Any real or integer expression.
Example:
I := 3223 - 88; { I = 3135 }
X := 3.5 - 4.5; { X = -1.0 }
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set Difference
<set1> - <set2>
The - operator performs set difference. The result is a set of the
same base type as the operands, whose members are members of <set1>
but not <set2>. Note that set difference is NOT commutative, that is,
(S1 - S2) <> (S2 - S1).
<set1>,<set2> Any set expression. Both expressions must be of the
same base type.
Example:
S := [1,2,5,6] - [2,4,6,8]; { S = [1,5] }
