    - #### Difference

          public Difference(TupleExpr leftArg,
                            TupleExpr rightArg)

      Creates a new minus operator that operates on the two specified arguments.
      Parameters:
        `leftArg` - The left argument of the minus operator.
        `rightArg` - The right argument of the minus operator.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getBindingNames

          public Set<String> getBindingNames()

      Description copied from interface: `TupleExpr`
      Gets the names of the bindings that are, or can be, returned by this tuple expression when it is evaluated.
      Returns:
        A set of binding names.

    - #### getAssuredBindingNames

          public Set<String> getAssuredBindingNames()

      Description copied from interface: `TupleExpr`
      Gets the names of the bindings that are guaranteed to be present in the results produced by this tuple expression.
      Returns:
        A set of binding names.

    - #### visit

          public <X extends Exception> void visit(QueryModelVisitor<X> visitor)
                                           throws X extends Exception

      Description copied from interface: `QueryModelNode`
      Visits this node. The node reports itself to the visitor with the proper runtime type.
      Throws:
        `X extends Exception`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object other)

      Description copied from interface: `QueryModelNode`
      Returns `true` if this query model node and its children are recursively equal to `o` and its children.
      Specified by:
        `equals` in interface `QueryModelNode`
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `BinaryTupleOperator`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `BinaryTupleOperator`

    - #### clone

          public Difference clone()

      Description copied from interface: `QueryModelNode`
      Returns a (deep) clone of this query model node. This method recursively clones the entire node tree, starting from this nodes.
      Specified by:
        `clone` in interface `QueryModelNode`
      Specified by:
        `clone` in interface `TupleExpr`
      Overrides:
