v?Sub

Performs element by element subtraction of vector b from vector a.

Syntax

FORTRAN:

call vssub( n, a, b, y )

call vmssub( n, a, b, y, mode )

call vdsub( n, a, b, y )

call vmdsub( n, a, b, y, mode )

call vcsub( n, a, b, y )

call vmcsub( n, a, b, y, mode )

call vzsub( n, a, b, y )

call vmzsub( n, a, b, y, mode )

C:

vsSub( n, a, b, y );

vmsSub( n, a, b, y, mode );

vdSub( n, a, b, y );

vmdSub( n, a, b, y, mode );

vcSub( n, a, b, y );

vmcSub( n, a, b, y, mode );

vzSub( n, a, b, y );

vmzSub( n, a, b, y, mode );

Description

Special values for Real Function v?Sub(x)

+0 +0 +0

Specifications for special values of the complex functions are defined according to the following formula

Sub(x1+i*y1,x2+i*y2) = (x1-x2) + i*(y1-y2).

Overflow in a complex function occurs (supported in the HA/LA accuracy modes only) when x1, x2, y1, y2 are finite numbers, but the real or imaginary part of the exact result is so large that it does not fit the target precision. In this case, the function returns in that part of the result, raises the OVERFLOW exception, and sets the VML Error Status to VML_STATUS_OVERFLOW.
