Try this: Apply[Plus,Partition[{a, b, c, d, e}, 2, 1],1]/2 Ariel Sepúlveda-Cuevas Quality Department, HP-PRMO PO Box 4048 Aguadilla, PR 00605 Tel (787)819-6057 Fax (787)819-6892 ariel_sepulveda at hp.com <mailto:ariel_sepulveda at hp.com> -----Original Message----- From: guillerm at usal.es [mailto:guillerm at usal.es] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg38243] [mg38195] Handling a list: Could you find a more elegant solution? I have a list: list1 = {a, b, c, d, e}; I want manipulate the list to obtain: (*Out[]:{(a + b)/2, (b + c)/2, (c + d)/2, (d + e)/2}*) It can be done for this function f[data_List] := Drop[Plus @@ NestList[RotateRight, data, 1], 1]/2 f[list1] but I am sure that some member of the group can find a more elegant function. I will appreciate to know it. Thanks Guillermo Sanchez --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/
