Subv

From AGI Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

The subv command subtracts the value of one variable from another and stores the result in the first variable.

Syntax

subv(var vA, var vB);
vA = vA - vB;
vA -= vB;

Remarks

Because variables are 8 bit unsigned numbers, if the result of the subtraction is less than 0, the result 'wraps around'. For example, if v50 currently equals 20 and v51 equals 25, the statement:

subv(v50, v51);

will result in a value for v50 of 251 (20 - 25 = -5; -5 + 256 = 251).

Possible Errors

None.

Example

Code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="agi"> v50 = 75; v51 = 60; subv(v50, v51); [ v50 now equals 15 v50 = v50 - v51; [ v50 now equals 211 (-45 + 256) v50 -= v51; [ v50 now equals 151 </syntaxhighlight>
