SUB destination,source
 
          Logic:    destination  destination - source
 
    SUB subtracts the source operand from the destination operand and
    stores the result in destination. Both operands may be bytes or words,
    and both may signed or unsigned binary numbers.

       Notes:         You may wish to use SBB if you need to subtract
                      numbers that are larger than 16 bits, since SBB
                      subtracts a borrow from a previous operation.
 
                      You may subtract a byte-length immediate value from
                      a destination which is a word; in this case, the
                      byte is sign-extended to 16 bits before the
                      subtraction.
