Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
value1 |
Number or String | Required. The first value to subtract from. Must be a number or convertible to a number. |
value2 |
Number or String | Required. The second value to subtract. Must be a number or convertible to a number. |
Return Value
The function returns the arithmetic difference of the two input values. If you provide more than two arguments, the operation subtracts only the first two. The result is always a number rounded to 2 decimal places.
If either input is a string, the operation tries to convert it to a number. If a string value can’t be converted to a number, the operation throws an exception.
