+# sub
+
+> Subtract two half-precision floating-point numbers.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var sub = require( '@stdlib/number/float16/base/sub' );
+```
+
+#### sub( x, y )
+
+Subtracts two half-precision floating-point numbers.
+
+```javascript
+var v = sub( -1.0, 5.0 );
+// returns -6.0
+
+v = sub( 2.0, 5.0 );
+// returns -3.0
+
+v = sub( 0.0, 5.0 );
+// returns -5.0
+
+v = sub( -0.0, 0.0 );
+// returns -0.0
+
+v = sub( NaN, NaN );
+// returns NaN
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Examples
+
+
+
+```javascript
+var toFloat16 = require( '@stdlib/number/float64/base/to-float16' );
+var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/uniform' );
+var map = require( '@stdlib/array/base/map' );
+var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console/log-each-map' );
+var sub = require( '@stdlib/number/float16/base/sub' );
+
+var x = map( uniform( 100, -50.0, 50.0 ), toFloat16 );
+var y = map( uniform( 100, -50.0, 50.0 ), toFloat16 );
+
+logEachMap( 'x: %f, y: %f => %f', x, y, sub );
