Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
converting the first absolute value into a first odd value, being an integer, and a first exponent value, being an integral power of two which, when multiplied by the first odd value, results in the first absolute value;
converting the second absolute value into a second odd value, being an integer, and a second exponent value, being an integral power of two which, when multiplied by the second odd value, results in the second absolute value;
subtracting the first exponent value from the second exponent value to provide a difference value, and providing a logarithmic offset value dependent on the difference value;
wherein converting the first absolute value into the first logarithmic value comprises converting the first odd value into a first odd logarithmic value, and converting the second absolute value into the second logarithmic value comprises converting the second odd value into a second odd logarithmic value; and
wherein providing the subtract value comprises adding the logarithmic offset value into a difference value of the subtracting the first logarithmic value from the second logarithmic value.
