Subtract two unsigned 16-bit integers.
npm install @stdlib/number-uint16-base-subWe believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js. The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases. When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there. To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

> Subtract two unsigned 16-bit integers.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/number-uint16-base-sub
`javascript`
var sub = require( '@stdlib/number-uint16-base-sub' );
#### sub( x, y )
Subtracts two unsigned 16-bit integers.
`javascript
var v = sub( 5, 1 );
// returns 4
v = sub( 5, 2 );
// returns 3
v = sub( 5, 0 );
// returns 5
`
- The function performs C-like subtraction of two unsigned 16-bit integers, including wraparound semantics.
`javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var sub = require( '@stdlib/number-uint16-base-sub' );
var opts = {
'dtype': 'uint16'
};
// Create arrays of random values:
var x = discreteUniform( 100, 0, 50, opts );
var y = discreteUniform( 100, 0, 50, opts );
// Perform element-wise subtraction:
logEachMap( '%d - %d = %d', x, y, sub );

#### stdlib_base_uint16_sub( x, y )
Subtracts two unsigned 16-bit integers.
`c
#include
uint16_t v = stdlib_base_uint16_sub( 5, 2 );
// returns 3
`
The function accepts the following arguments:
- x: [in] uint16_t first input value.[in] uint16_t
- y: second input value.
`c`
uint16_t stdlib_base_uint16_sub( const uint16_t x, const uint16_t y );
`c
#include "stdlib/number/uint16/base/sub.h"
#include
#include
int main( void ) {
const uint16_t x[] = { 3, 5, 10, 12 };
const uint16_t y[] = { 6, 2, 11, 24 };
uint16_t z;
int i;
for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
z = stdlib_base_uint16_sub( x[ i ], y[ i ] );
printf( "%d - %d = %d\n", x[ i ], y[ i ], z );
}
}
