subtracting arrays from each other

I have 2 arrays. I want to subtract b from a, but starting at the second element of b eg. 16-14, 24-20 etc.

The result should be: 2 4 13 7 5.

a = [16 24 30 27 30 35];
b = [6 14 20 17 20 25];

a = [16 24 30 27 30 35];
b = [6 14 20 17 20 25];

c = a(1:end-1) - b(2:end)

c = 1×5

2 4 13 7 5
