<!-- Note Section BEGIN -->
Note that this way of removing elements from an array will not work if those elements are themselves arrays.
Example:
[[0,0,0],[1,1,1],[2,2,2] ] - [1,1,1]
Will not remove the element [1,1,1] from the first array.
A more practical example:
[ [[getPos]] unit1, [[getPos]] unit2, [[getPos]] unit3] - [[getPos]] unit3
Will not remove the position of unit3 from the first array.

{{subst:Add new note/construct|This will work if you do: <code>[[3,3,3],[1,1,1],[5,5,5]] - [[1,1,1] ] //Return: [[3,3,3],[5,5,5]]</code>
You have to cover it in extra brackets, because you want to remove the whole element.
Not: <code>[[3,3,3],[1,1,1],[5,5,5]] - [1,1,1] //Return: [[3,3,3],[1,1,1],[5,5,5]]</code>
But this would work again: <code>[[3,3,3],-1,-1,-1,[5,5,5]] - [1,1,1] //Return: [[3,3,3],[5,5,5]]</code>
Note, that all elements found will be removed: <code>[1,2,3,2,4,3,5,2,6,2,7,2] - [2] //Return: [1,3,4,5,6,7]</code>}}

Description

Description:
Subtracts b from a. a and b need to be of the same type, both Numbers or both Arrays. In Arma 3 it is possible to subtract nested arrays.
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_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
