# -(_:_:)

Returns the result of subtracting an integer from a demand.

## Declaration

```swift
static func - (lhs: Subscribers.Demand, rhs: Int) -> Subscribers.Demand
```

## Discussion

Discussion When subtracting any value from .unlimited, the result is still .unlimited. A negative demand is possible, but be aware that it isn’t usable when requesting values in a subscription.
