operator- (<complex>)
Subtracts two complex numbers, one or both of which may belong to the subset of the type for the real and imaginary parts.

const complex<Type>& _Left,
const complex<Type>& _Right
);

template<class Type>
complex<Type> operator-(

);
template<class Type>
complex<Type> operator-(
const complex<Type>& _Left
);
Parameters
_Left
The first of two complex numbers or a number that is of the parameter type for a complex number that is to be subtracted by the - operation._Right
The second of two complex numbers or a number that is of the parameter type for a complex number that is to be subtracted by the - operation.
Return Value
The complex number that results from the subtraction of _Right from _Left, the two numbers whose values are specified by the parameter inputs.
Remarks
The operation is overloaded so that simple arithmetic operations can be executed without the conversion of the data to a particular format.
The unary operator changes the sign of a complex number and returns a value whose real part is the negative of the real part of the number input and whose imaginary part is the negative of the imaginary part of the number input.
