Remove overlapping cells between two grids

Question

Hello,
For example, I have two grids (A and B) . I would like to remove from GridA any cells that have a value in GridB.  Grids A and B occupy the same space but measure different things.  What is the best way to perform this operation?  I was not having success googling the issue.

Thank you kindly,
Mike

Just to point out there is no one answer to your question, and how Map Algebra is used is often a choice of style...* I prefer using the "not" operator.
* You can also use the output of IsNull explicitly, as it returns 1/0 (true/false) values.
* I'm a big fan of the Con tool because it is so flexible, especially when combined with IsNull.  (In the expression below, if you leave off the third argument, any cell evaluating to False returns NoData in the output.)

So, these expressions are all equivalent:SetNull(not IsNull("B"), "A")
SetNull(IsNull("B") == 0,"A")
Con(IsNull("B"),"A")

Thank you both:
"!IsNull" is new to me, specifically the "!"

Cheers,

In SetNull you can apply a condition, if it is true, then it will be null otherwise, you can specify what you want it to be
