How to do a subtraction of each element in a row with the first element of each row using a loop function...

This is my matrix:



a=
2.88018141156171 4.49406146768661 4.39969572964863 5.77382684781782
0.302326568062510 0.913580405174539 1.38826913246346 2.16529080203233


And this is my 'first number' vector:



first number =
2.88018141156171
0.302326568062510


I would like to subtract each element in the row with the first number in that specific row.

How can I write a loop function?

  • "subtract with" is not valid syntax. And given that subtraction is noncommutative, precise language is important. Do you want to subtract each element from the first, or the first from each element?
