Finding the angle between two bearings is often confusing.<ref>[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16180595/find-the-angle-between-two-bearings]</ref>
 
 
;Task:
Find the angle which is the result of the subtraction '''b2 - b1''', &nbsp; where '''b1''' and '''b2''' are the bearings.
 
Input bearings are expressed in the range &nbsp; '''-180''' &nbsp; to &nbsp; '''+180''' &nbsp; degrees.
<br>The result is also expressed in the range &nbsp; '''-180''' &nbsp; to &nbsp; '''+180''' &nbsp; degrees.
 
 
Compute the angle for the following pairs:
We need to find the angle which is the result of the subtraction b2-b1, where b1 and b2 are both bearings. Input bearings are expressed by numbers in the range -180 to +180 degrees. The result must also be expressed in the range +180 to -180 degrees. Compute the angle for the following pairs:
::* 20 degrees ('''b1''') and 45 degrees ('''b2''')
::* -45 and 45
::* -85 and 90
::* -95 and 90
::* -45 and 125
::* -45 and 145
::* 29.4803 and -88.6381
::* -78.3251 and -159.036
 
*20 degrees (b1) and 45 degrees (b2)
*-45 and 45
*-85 and 90
*-95 and 90
*-45 and 125
*-45 and 145
*29.4803 and -88.6381
*-78.3251 and -159.036
 
;Optional extra: allow the input bearings to be any (finite) value. Test cases:
