- (Matlab operator) =================== Minus Matlab/Scilab equivalent ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **Matlab** **Scilab** :: - :: - Particular cases ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :Empty matrix and substraction In Matlab, substraction can only be made if the operands have the same size unless one is a scalar. For exemple, empty matrices can only be substracted to another empty matrix or a scalar. Note that when you substract an empty matrix to a scalar and inversely, Matlab result is always an empty matrix while in Scilab, result is equal to the scalar. : Examples ~~~~~~~~ **Matlab** **Scilab** :: A = 1 - [] A = [] :: A = 1 - [] A = 1
