Syntax: $dif(a,b[,c[...]])
Parameter
Description
a
The minuend of the subtraction, a can be a value (e.g. '5'), a list (e.g. $el(3,true)) or a reference to a value (e.g. $el(3)).
other parameters
Other parameters of type a, the subtrahenders.
Example: $dif(3,5) – returns 3-5=-2$dif(3,5,7) – returns 3-5-7=-9
