a=-4;
b=4;
x=a:1:b;
y=x.^2-4.*x;
from the above code, i will have value y= 32,21,12,5,0,-3,-4,-3,0
then, what i do do next is to find the difference between answer
ex:
abs|21-32|=11
abs|12-21|=9
abs|5-12|=7
and so on

The diff function will do what you want. You can use abs to get the absolute value.

tq...I really appreciate it...I am juz new to Matlab, learning from the internet
I have tried just now
to obtain the value 11,9 7.......and so on
just type
diff(y,1,2);
or diff(y);
both worked
but, what if I want to add, multiply and do other operations, is it possible sir?
let say now I want to do multiplication?
abs|21*32|=11
abs|12*21|=9
abs|5*12|=7
and so on

That is possible with indexing:
a=-4;
b=4;
x=a:1:b;
y=x.^2-4.*x;
mulitplied_values= y(1:(end-1)).*y(2:end);
result=abs(mulitplied_values);
disp(result)
672 252 60 0 0 12 12 0
