The subtract operation will take its two numerical operands and produce the difference as its result. It operates on reals, complex and integer values. Also, you can combine reals with complex values and reals with integer values. The result will be a complex or integer value respectively.

Matrices and vectors can be subtracted. A vector cannot be subtracted from a matrix and vice versa. The number of rows and columns in the matrices must match. The vectors or matrices being subtracted can be real, complex or a mixture of real and complex. The result will be a a vector or matrix of the same dimension as the input values with each corresponding value being the difference of the input values at that position.
