Description
Both value1 and value2 must be of type long. The values are popped from the operand stack. The long result is value1 - value2. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.
For long subtraction, a-b produces the same result as a+(-b). For long values, subtraction from zero is the same as negation.
Despite the fact that overflow or underflow may occur, in which case the result may have a different sign than the true mathematical result, execution of an lsub instruction never throws a runtime exception.
