well

"*"(3,2) works but "*"(3,2,3) does not. You should now be able to figure out the logic. It is related to the number of arguments that make sense.

Hi friends, I am aware of the function "-"() which acts as minus in ordinary computations. For example:

"-"(3, 1)
[1] 2

However what is the meaning of
"-"(3)
[1] -3

I was expecting R to generate some error as it does for "*"(3). What is the logic for that calculation?

Thanks,
