[python] Subtract a value from every number in a list in Python?

I have a list

 a = [49, 51, 53, 56]

How do I subtract 13 from each integer value in the list?

To clarify an already posted solution due to questions in the comments

import numpy

array = numpy.array([49, 51, 53, 56])
array = array - 13

will output:

array([36, 38, 40, 43])

If are you working with numbers a lot, you might want to take a look at NumPy. It lets you perform all kinds of operation directly on numerical arrays. For example:

>>> import numpy
>>> array = numpy.array([49, 51, 53, 56])
>>> array - 13
array([36, 38, 40, 43])

This will work:

for i in range(len(a)):
  a[i] -= 13

You can use map() function:

a = list(map(lambda x: x - 13, a))
