http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction This technique in well worth learning, as it can be applied in many real-world situations, sometimes not even requiring a computer. For example: The letter was postmarked on the 18th of May; it was delivered on the 29th of May; how many days was it in transit?
