scipp.subtract#

scipp.subtract(minuend, subtrahend)#

Element-wise difference.

Equivalent to:

minuend - subtrahend
Parameters:

  • minuend (VariableLike) – Minuend.

  • subtrahend (VariableLike) – Subtrahend.

Returns:

VariableLike – subtrahend subtracted from minuend.

Examples

>>> import scipp as sc
>>> a = sc.array(dims=['x'], values=[10, 20, 30], unit='m')
>>> b = sc.array(dims=['x'], values=[1, 2, 3], unit='m')
>>> sc.subtract(a, b)
<scipp.Variable> (x: 3)      int64              [m]  [9, 18, 27]

Or equivalently in operator notation:

>>> a - b
<scipp.Variable> (x: 3)      int64              [m]  [9, 18, 27]
