Groups:
Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:
a - b
Parameters:
a: Number or Array
b: Number or Array
Return Value:
Number or Array

Examples

Example 1:
For numbers: _sum = 10 - 7; //_sum is 3
Example 2:
For arrays: contents of array b removed from array a. Returns new array._result = [1, 2, 2, player, "String"] - [2, player, player, "String"]; //_result is [1]
Example 3:
Compare:[0,[0],[[0]]] - [0]; //[[0],[[0]]] [0,[0],[[0]]] - [[0]]; //[0,[[0]]] - Arma 3 only [0,[0],[[0]]] - [[[0]]]; //[0,[0]] - Arma 3 only
