The subtraction of a complex number, c + di, from another complex number, a + bi, takes the following form:

(a - c) + (b - d)i

If the method call results in an overflow in either the real or imaginary component, the value of that component is either Double::PositiveInfinity or Double::NegativeInfinity.
