Hello,

I would like to subtract each element of a from array b.
a=[2 4 5 1 30 4]
b=[12 32 87 56 45 67 13]
Is there a way to solve this problem without using a for-loop?
Thanks

ex: Subtracting 3rd element of a from array b
5 - [12 32 87 56 45 67 13] = [-7 -27 -82 -51 -40 -62 -8]

one of the solutions

a=1:5;
b=1:5;
r=a(3)-b
% r = 2 1 0 -1 -2

bsxfun(@minus, b, a.')

>> repmat(a',1,size(b,2))-repmat(b,size(a,2),1)

ans =

-10 -30 -85 -54 -43 -65 -11
-8 -28 -83 -52 -41 -63 -9
-7 -27 -82 -51 -40 -62 -8
-11 -31 -86 -55 -44 -66 -12
18 -2 -57 -26 -15 -37 17
-8 -28 -83 -52 -41 -63 -9

firstly, i came up with a bad solution because i didn't read the OP carefully enough - sorry...
second, walter's solution using BSXFUN is the way to go...
