Hi Mathematica Lovers,
I am trying to write a program that requires handling 3D list. I am
faced with this problem which is unable to change the values of the
list. For example, when I run the following lines, I get this error
msg: Part::setps: jlist[[1]] in assignment of part is not a symbol.
In[294]:= jlist={{1,2},{3,4}}
Out[294]= {{1, 2}, {3, 4}}
In[295]:= jlist[[1]][[2]]=6
Part::setps: jlist[[1]] in assignment of part is not a symbol.
Out[295]= 6
I would appreciate if any one could tell me what I am doing wrong ?
regards
Rayhan
