Addition of two number using '-' operator

Last Updated : 13 Mar, 2023

The task is to Add two number using '-' operator.

Examples:

Input : 2 3
Output : 5

Input : 10 20
Output : 30

The idea is simple, we subtract -b from a.

C++

// CPP program to add two numbers using
// - operator.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// function to add two numbers.
int add(int a, int b)
{
    return a - (-b);
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a = 2, b = 3;
    cout << add(a, b) << endl;
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to add
// two numbers using
// - operator.
import java.io.*;

class GFG 
{
    
// function to add two numbers.
static int add(int a, int b)
{
    return a - (-b);
}

// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args) 
{
    int a = 2, b = 3;
    System.out.print(add(a, b));
}
}

# Driver code      
if __name__ == "__main__" : 
  
    a = 2
    b = 3
  
    print(add(a, b))
