How it works

+¡ạ  Main link. Left argument: x. Right argument: y. Third argument: n

  ạ  Yield abs(x - y) = y - x, the (-1)-th value of the Lucas sequence.
+¡   Add the quicklink's left and right argument (initially x and y-x), replacing
     the right argument with the left one and the left argument with the result.
     Do this n times and return the final value of the left argument.
