I'm having problems subtracting. My subtracting function is in the bigInt.cpp file at the very bottom. I have it so it should take away 1 from the left digit when the digit to the right is smaller than the one on the bottom but it doesn't seem to be working. The +10 works, but the borrowing part isn't.

When i do 258 and 209, it goes to the sub function and I end up getting 59 instead of 49. For some the 5 isn't getting subtracted
