|
|
* Numbers used can be any literal or variable numerical value type.
|
|
|
|
|
* Subtracting a negative value will actually perform addition with the other value.
|
|
|
|
|
* Subtracting a negative or [[negation|negated]] value will make the return value more positive.
|
|
|
|
|
* Addition and subtraction are the last operations performed in QBasic's normal order of operations.
|
|
|
|
|
* Subtraction cannot be performed on [[STRING]] values.
