Subtract Variadic

What It Does

Performs sequential subtraction of multiple numbers, starting with the first value and subtracting each subsequent value. Unlike the basic Subtract node which has fixed inputs, this node can accept any number of values to subtract.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
inputs	The list of numbers to subtract sequentially	List	No

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
value	The result of the sequential subtraction	Number

Subtract (Variadic) Example

How to Use It

1. Drag the Subtract (Variadic) node into your graph.

2. Connect any number of numeric values to the "inputs" handle.

3. Each connected value will automatically be added to the inputs list.

4. Run the graph—the output will be the first value minus all subsequent values.

5. For example, with inputs [3, 2, 1], the output will be 0 (3-2-1).

Tips

• You need at least one value for the node to work properly.

• Subtraction happens from left to right (first value minus second, result minus third, etc.).

• Order matters—the sequence [10, 5, 2] gives a different result (3) than [5, 10, 2] (-7).
