===Addition=== The definition of addition is also a recursive formula: <math display=block>x + y = \{ X_L \mid X_R \} + \{ Y_L \mid Y_R \} = \{ X_L + y, x + Y_L \mid X_R + y, x + Y_R \},</math> where <math display=block>X + y = \{ x' + y: x' \in X \} , \quad x + Y = \{ x + y': y' \in Y \}</math> This formula involves sums of one of the original operands and a surreal number drawn from the left or right set of the other. It can be proved inductively with the special cases: <math display=block>0 + 0 = \{ {}\mid{} \} + \{ {}\mid{} \} = \{ {}\mid{} \} = 0</math> <math display=block>x + 0 = x + \{ {}\mid{} \} = \{ X_L + 0 \mid X_R + 0 \} = \{ X_L \mid X_R \} = x</math> <math display=block>0 + y = \{ {}\mid{} \} + y = \{ 0 + Y_L \mid 0 + Y_R \} = \{ Y_L \mid Y_R \} = y</math> For example: :{{math|1={{sfrac|1|2}} + {{sfrac|1|2}} = {{mset| 0 {{!}} 1 }} + {{mset| 0 {{!}} 1 }} = {{mset| {{sfrac|1|2}} {{!}} {{sfrac|3|2}} }}}}, which by the birthday property is a form of 1. This justifies the label used in the previous section. ====Subtraction==== Subtraction is defined with addition and negation: <math display=block>x - y = \{ X_L \mid X_R \} + \{ -Y_R \mid -Y_L \} = \{ X_L - y, x - Y_R \mid X_R - y, x - Y_L \}\,.</math>
