>>> ## Concept
Subtraction is a basic mathematical operation used to find the difference between numbers. In Python, subtraction is performed using the minus sign (`-`). For example, you can subtract two numbers like this:
```python
result = 10 - 4
print(result) # This will output 6
```
You can subtract integers as well as floating-point numbers. Subtraction works from left to right, meaning the number on the left is subtracted by the number on the right.
## Practice
Let's practice what you've learned about subtraction. Your task is to find the difference between 50 and 13.
**Instructions:**
1. Use the subtraction operator (`-`).
2. Calculate `50 - 13`.
3. Print the result to see the correct output.
Here is the starter code:
```python
# Write your code below
difference = 50 - 13
print(difference) # Expected output: 37
```
Run the code to check if it prints the correct result. It should show "37" in the output.
