subtraction in bash arrays

hi i am using bash shell to perform some subraction. here is what i have:
i have a while loop and am using i as a counter.

Code:
diff[i]= `expr ${ARRAY1[i]} - ${ARRAY2[i]}`

for example array1[1] has -0.7145 and array2[1] has -0.7041.
when i try the above command, i get expr: non-numeric argument. any ideas how i can do this subtraction?
thanks
