Subtract element one from element two in a 1x101 row vector.

I need to subtract the first element of a vector from the second element. Then continue in that manner.
E3 - E2 then E4 - E3 then E5 - E6 to the end.
% Calculate the Velocity and Accelleration for particle 1 at all times.
load A1_input.txt;
t=A1_input(:,1)'; % Time in Seconds.
% Calculate the Time for particle using loops.
for i=1:length(t)
Time(i) =(t(:,2))-(t(:,1));
end
Time(36) % Trial ans wrong

You can use the subset from 1:end-1 and 2:end to calculate without using the for loop.
t = rand(1,101);
tsub = t(2:end) - t(1:end-1)
tsub = 1×100
