matlab is acting weird. if I assign the value 202 to variable a and 207 to variable b then add a+b it gives me the correct answer 409. Now if I subtract a-b it gives me 0 instead of -5.
btu if I do 202-207(not using the variables a and b ) it gives me -5.

what could be causing this?

edit: it gets even weird. I just noticed that matlab gives me a-b=0 only when I assign it the values 202 and 207 from a data matrix a=data(1,1),b=data(2,1). if I assign the values directly to a and b it acts normal

    a = uint8(202);
    b = uint8(207);
    
    >> a-b
    ans =
        0
    
    >> 202-207
    ans =
        -5
