ee.Number.subtract
Subtracts the second value from the first.
Usage | Returns |
---|
Number.subtract(right) | Number |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: left | Number | The left-hand value. |
right | Number | The right-hand value. |
Examples
print('5 - 10', ee.Number(5).subtract(10)); // -5
print('10 - 5', ee.Number(10).subtract(5)); // 5
print('5 - 10.2', ee.Number(5).subtract(10.2)); // -5.199999999
print('5 - -10.2', ee.Number(5).subtract(-10.2)); // 15.2
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
print('5 - 10:', ee.Number(5).subtract(10).getInfo()) # -5
print('10 - 5:', ee.Number(10).subtract(5).getInfo()) # 5
print('5 - 10.2:', ee.Number(5).subtract(10.2).getInfo()) # -5.199999999
print('5 - -10.2:', ee.Number(5).subtract(-10.2).getInfo()) # 15.2

It calculates the difference, returning the result as a Number. For instance, using `ee.Number(5).subtract(10)` computes 5 - 10, which results in -5. The method is available in both JavaScript and Python environments, with identical behavior. Python requires `geemap` for use. The examples show subtractions with integer and float values, including negative values.\n"]]
