SUBTRACT

Download Flojoy Studio to try this app
Subtract two numeric arrays, vectors, matrices, or constants element-wise. Params: a : OrderedPair|Scalar|Vector The input a use in the subtraction of a by b. b : OrderedPair|Scalar|Vector The input b use in the subtraction of a by b. Returns: out : OrderedPair|Scalar|Vector OrderedPair if a is an OrderedPair. x: the x-axis of input a. y: the result of the subtraction of input a by input b. Scalar if a is a Scalar. c: the result of the subtraction of input a by input b. Vector if a is a Vector. v: the result of the subtraction of input a by input b.

In this example, SUBTRACT node is used in the process of subtracting sine function.

In the result, it generated a negative sine function which is visible through SCATTER node.
