The Subtract block subtracts its arguments.

Subtraction is calculated in order, top to bottom.

For information on using dataflow blocks, see Dataflow.

For accepted and excluded arguments of Math Operations blocks, see Math Operations.

The following property of the Subtract block can take input and give output.

• input n (number)

input n specifies one of the numbers to subtract. input 0 is the initial value, and each following input is subtracted from it in order. Following inputs that are null or cannot be resolved to numbers are ignored.

The following property of the Subtract block can give output but cannot take input.

• output (number)

output returns the result of subtracting all of the input values.

The following image shows two examples of the Subtract block. In the rightmost Subtract block, two different data types are used: a number and a string representation of a number.
