function C = minus(A,B)
%MINUS Binary subtraction for sparse tensors. 
%
%   MINUS(A,B) is called for the syntax 'A - B' when A or B is a sparse
%   tensor. A and B must have the same size, unless one is a scalar. A
%   scalar can be subtracted from a sparse tensor of any size.
%
%   Examples
%   A = sptenrand([4 3 2],5); B = sptenrand([4 3 2],3);
%   A - B %<-- sparse
%   A - 5 %<-- dense
%   A - 0 %<-- dense
%   A - full(A) %<-- dense

%% Observations for sparse matrix case.
% The result of a - 5 is dense!
% The result of a - 0 is dense!
% The result of a - full(a) is dense!
% The result of a - b (two sparse matrices) is sparse.

%% Case 1: One argument is a scalar
% Emulating the sparse matrix case here, which creates and returns
% a dense result, even if the scalar is zero.

% Case 1a: Second argument is a scalar or a dense tensor
if isscalar(B) || isa(B,'tensor')
    C = full(A) - B;
    return;
end

% Case 1b: First argument is a scalar or a dense tensor
if isscalar(A) || isa(A,'tensor')
    C = A - full(B);
    return;
end

%% Case 2: Both are sparse tensors
if ~isa(A,'sptensor') || ~isa(B,'sptensor') || ~isequal(size(A),size(B))
    error('Must be two sparse tensors of the same size');
end

C = sptensor([A.subs; B.subs], [A.vals; -B.vals], size(A));
