subf

Subtract two single-precision floating-point numbers.

Usage

var subf = require( '@stdlib/math/base/ops/subf' );

subf( x, y )

Subtracts two single-precision floating-point numbers.

var v = subf( -1.0, 5.0 );
// returns -6.0

v = subf( 2.0, 5.0 );
// returns -3.0

v = subf( 0.0, 5.0 );
// returns -5.0

v = subf( -0.0, 0.0 );
// returns -0.0

v = subf( NaN, NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var rand = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' );
var subf = require( '@stdlib/math/base/ops/subf' );

var x;
var y;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = rand( -50, 50 );
    y = rand( -50, 50 );
    console.log( '%d - %d = %d', x, y, subf( x, y ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/ops/subf.h"

stdlib_base_subf( x, y )

Subtracts two single-precision floating-point numbers.

float v = stdlib_base_sub( -5.0f, 2.0f );
// returns -7.0f

The function accepts the following arguments:

x: [in] float first input value.
y: [in] float second input value.

float stdlib_base_sub( const float x, const float y );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/ops/subf.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    float x[] = { 3.14f, -3.14f, 0.0f, 0.0f/0.0f };
    float y[] = { 3.14f, -3.14f, -0.0f, 0.0f/0.0f };

    float z;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        z = stdlib_base_subf( x[ i ], y[ i ] );
        printf( "%f - %f = %f\n", x[ i ], y[ i ], z );
    }
