An arbitrary precision Decimal type for TypeScript that extends BigInt.

import type { BigDecimal } from './type'

export const minus = (x: BigDecimal, y: BigDecimal): BigDecimal => {

  const decimals = Math.max(x.decimals, y.decimals)
  const valueX = x.value * 10n ** BigInt(decimals - x.decimals)
  const valueY = y.value * 10n ** BigInt(decimals - y.decimals)
  const value = valueX - valueY

  return removeTrailingZeros({ value, decimals })
