# -(_:_:)

Subtract two measurements of the same Dimension.

```
static func - (lhs: Measurement<UnitType>, rhs: Measurement<UnitType>) -> Measurement<UnitType>
```

## Return Value

The result of adding the two measurements.

## Discussion

If the `unit` of the `lhs` and `rhs` are `==`, then this returns the result of subtracting the `value` of each `Measurement`. If they are not equal, then this will convert both to the base unit of the `Dimension` and return the result as a `Measurement` of that base unit.
