Given a and b, two equal length lists of integers, I want c to be [a1-b1, a2-b2, ... , an-bn]. I can do something like:
c = [0] * len(a) for ndx, item in enumerate(a): c[ndx] = item - b[ndx] But I'm wondering if there's a better way, perhaps that avoids a loop? Nick. (I seem to recall from my distant past that this sort of thing was dead easy with APL... c = a-b, more or less.) N -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
