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''', where '''b1''' and '''b2''' are the bearings.
<br>Input bearings are expressed in the range &nbsp; '''-180''' &nbsp; to &nbsp; '''+180''' &nbsp; degrees.
<br>The &nbsp;result&nbsp; is also expressed in the range &nbsp; '''-180''' &nbsp; to &nbsp; '''+180''' &nbsp; 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
;Optional extra:
Allow the input bearings to be any (finite) value.
;Test cases:
* -70099.74233810938 and 29840.67437876723
* -165313.6666297357 and 33693.9894517456
* 1174.8380510598456 and -154146.66490124757
* 60175.77306795546 and 42213.07192354373
