This method is used to subtract the one specified Decimal value from another.
Syntax: public static decimal Subtract (decimal a1, decimal a2); Parameters: a1: This parameter specifies the minuend. a2: This parameter specifies the subtrahend. Return Value: Result of subtracting a2 from a1.Exceptions:
This method will give
OverflowExceptionif the return value is less than
MinValueor greater than
MaxValue. Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:
Example 1: csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Subtract(Decimal, Decimal)
// Method
using System;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Declaring the decimal
// variables
Decimal a1 = .01m;
Decimal a2 = .03m;
// Subtracting the two Decimal value
// using Subtract() method
Decimal value = Decimal.Subtract(a1, a2);
// Display the Result
Console.WriteLine("Result is : {0}",
value);
}
catch (OverflowException e) {
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Result is : -0.02Example 2:
For
OverflowException csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Subtract(Decimal, Decimal)
// Method
using System;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Declaring the decimal variables
Decimal a1 = Decimal.MinValue;
Decimal a2 = Decimal.MaxValue;
// Subtracting the two Decimal value
// using Subtract() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Subtract(a1, a2);
// Display the Result
Console.WriteLine("Result is : {0}",
value);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Exception Thrown: System.OverflowExceptionReference:
