BigInteger.Subtraction(BigInteger, BigInteger) Operator

Definition

Namespace:

System.Numerics

Assembly:

System.Runtime.Numerics.dll

Source:

BigInteger.cs

Subtracts a BigInteger value from another BigInteger value.

public:
 static System::Numerics::BigInteger operator -(System::Numerics::BigInteger left, System::Numerics::BigInteger right) = System::Numerics::ISubtractionOperators<System::Numerics::BigInteger, System::Numerics::BigInteger, System::Numerics::BigInteger>::op_Subtraction;

public static System.Numerics.BigInteger operator - (System.Numerics.BigInteger left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);

static member ( - ) : System.Numerics.BigInteger * System.Numerics.BigInteger -> System.Numerics.BigInteger

Public Shared Operator - (left As BigInteger, right As BigInteger) As BigInteger

Parameters

left

BigInteger

The value to subtract from (the minuend).

right

BigInteger

The value to subtract (the subtrahend).

Returns

BigInteger

The result of subtracting right from left.

Implements

Subtraction(TSelf, TOther)

Remarks

The Subtraction method defines the operation of the subtraction operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

BigInteger num1 = 100045632194;
BigInteger num2 = 90329434;
BigInteger result = num1 - num2;

let num1 = 100045632194I
let num2 = 90329434I
let result = num1 - num2

Dim num1 As BigInteger = 100045632194
Dim num2 As BigInteger = 90329434
Dim result As BigInteger = num1 - num2

Languages that do not support custom operators can call the BigInteger.Subtract method instead.

The equivalent method for this operator is BigInteger.Subtract(BigInteger, BigInteger).
