Subtract in a string with decrementation

Hi,
First, here's my code :
>>>>>
std::vector<std::string> x = split("3 5", ' ');
int total = 0;
// then we loop over the elements
for(size_t i = 0; i < x.size(); ++i) {
// convert the string to an integer
int n = atoi(x[i].c_str());
total = total + n;
}
std::cout << "total = " << total << std::endl;
}
<<<<<
So, as you can see, this will add 3 to 5. However, I would like it to do the inverse (3 - 5).
How I can do that?
Thank you for your help.

Will there always be two elements? What do you expect to happen with three or more elements in subtraction mode? Why does the first element get special treatment?

It is not uncommon for (- 3 5 7) to mean (3 - 5 - 7), so there is no problem there.
