Syntax

MatrixObject.Minus(MatrixToAdd)

Return Value

Returns a reference to the matrix resulting from the addition.

Parameters

MatrixToAdd

Error Codes

Error 1312 will be returned if matrices are not of the same size.

Example

This example demonstrates the use of Plus and Minus methods.

Private Sub MatrixPlusMinus()

Dim A As Matrix, B As Matrix

    Set A = New Matrix
    A.Size 5, 5
    A.FillRandom
    Debug.Print "A ="
    Debug.Print A.GetString(0)
    
    Set B = New Matrix
    B.Size 5, 5
    B.FillRandom
    Debug.Print "B ="
    Debug.Print B.GetString(0)
    
    Debug.Print "A + B = "
    Debug.Print A.Plus(B).GetString(0)
    Debug.Print "A - B = "
    Debug.Print A.Minus(B).GetString(0)
 
End Sub

Output

A =
|  6  2  8  6  5 |
|  4  9  8  7  2 |
|  9  7  5  3  0 |
|  1  4  1  2 10 |
|  4  1  0  0  4 |

B =

|  5  4  1  6  8 |
|  8  5  3  9  7 |
| 10  9  5  1  5 |
|  2  9  2  8  8 |

A + B = 
| 12  8 14  8 12 |
|  9 13  9 13 10 |
| 17 12  8 12  7 |
| 11 13  6  3 15 |
|  6 10  2  8 12 |

A - B = 
|  0 -4  2  4 -2 |
| -1  5  7  1 -6 |
|  1  2  2 -6 -7 |
| -9 -5 -4  1  5 |
|  2 -8 -2 -8 -4 |
