# examples from base
difference(1:10, 2)
difference(1:10, 2, 2)
x <- cumsum(cumsum(1:10))
difference(x, lag = 2)
difference(x, differences = 2)
# Use order_by if data not already ordered (example from dplyr)

scrambled <- tsbl %>% slice(sample(nrow(tsbl)))

wrong <- mutate(scrambled, diff = difference(value))
arrange(wrong, year)

right <- mutate(scrambled, diff = difference(value, order_by = year))
arrange(right, year)
