You want to have
c == a - b for a>b
and c == b - a in other cases
CDEF:c=a,b,GT,a,b,-,b,a,-,IF
Alternatively, you can do:
c == a - b; if (c<0) c=c*-1 else c=c*1;
CDEF:c=a,b,-,DUP,0,LT,-1,1,IF,*
this does: calculate a-b; duplicate; use the duplicate to check
against being less than zero; multiply with -1 if so, with 1 if not.
These examples do not check for being the INF, -INF or UNKN value.
