    Actually, the first entry should be:

    subtract(5, 7)	# value: -2
    The second entry is correct, as it will return 12 (it actually says 12 in the documentation I'm looking at, not -12).

    subtract(a, b, c)
    Equates to a - b -c

    So
    subtract(5,7) = 5 -7 = -2.
subtract(7, (long)5, -10) = 7 - 5 - (-10) = 2 + 10 = 12
    I'll raise a doc bug about the first example.
