look:
In[1]:= w={w1,w2};
p={2,1};
In[3]:= Table[w[[p[[i]]]],{i,1,2}]
Out[3]= {w2,w1}
In[4]:= w[[p]] (*****)
Out[4]= {w2,w1}
In[5]:= p=.
In[6]:= Table[w[[p[i]]],{p[i],1,2}]
Out[6]= {w1,w2}
I don't get that message, if p is Unset before. Otherwise it depends, look
at your exact message.
In[7]:= Table[{w[[p[i]]],w[[p[j]]]},{p[i],1,2},{p[j],1,2}]
Out[7]= {{{w1,w1},{w1,w2}},{{w2,w1},{w2,w2}}}
You meant something, but I failed to understand.
To learn what an iterator is, take this expression to your notebook and
click
\!\(\*
ButtonBox[\(What\ is\ an\ \(\(iterator\)\(\ \)\(?\)\)\),
ButtonData:>{
FrontEnd`FileName[ {$RootDirectory, "C:", "Programme",
"Wolfram Research", "Mathematica", "4.1", "Documentation",
"English",
"MainBook"}, "1_05.nb", CharacterEncoding -> "WindowsANSI"],
"4.15"},
ButtonStyle->"Hyperlink"]\)
Perhaps you need to adapt before
"Programme" --> "Program Files", "4.1" --> ?.?, "English" --> ?
