subtraction_spec.js 
var expect = require('chai').expect

describe('subtraction', function () {
  var subtraction = require('../WHEREVER')  
  it('only works with numbers', function () {
    let handel = function (){subtraction("la",12);};
    expect(handel).to.throw(Error);
    expect(handel).to.throw('subtraction only works with numbers!');
  })
})
