Could anyone help me to solve the issue.

I am having 5 users whose initial_position are generated by the code itself and gives the value as follows:

initial_position=1.7620e+06

initial_position=1.9911e+06

initial_position=1.8969e+06

initial_position=2.5384e+06

initial_position=2.5042e+06

All the 5 values are generated inside for loop in my code by running the loop 5 times.

Once the initial position is generated i need to find one common_position which is the maximum initial_position .

So i used the command ,common_position=max(initial_position) outside the for loop in order to find it

I got the result as common_position=2.5384e+06.

In the next step i need to use the expression of (common_position-initial_position)

so far in my code common_position is one which is calculated outside for loop, but initial_position is five which gets calculated inside for loop

Could anyone help me how can i use the expression of (common_position-initial_position) to generate 5 different values with respect to the difference of two positions.

If "initial_position" is an array with 5 elements and "common_position" is a scalar, you can simply type

difference = common_position-initial_position

"initial_position" is an array with 5 elements generated inside the for loop

"common_position" is also an array with 1 element generated outside the for loop

If i use the command

difference = common_position-initial_position

outside the for loop it generates only one value.

but it need to be done with respect to 5 elements.

Could you please help me on this.

No, it will generate 5 values (if "initial_position" really is an array with 5 elements, as you claim).
