Thiery, That's what pure functions are for (you can look them up in the Mathematica Book) Map[# + 1 &, {2, 3, 4, 45, 98}] or you could simply use a rule in this case {2, 3, 4, 45, 98} /. n_ -> n + 1 John Jowett "Thiery Balser" <thiery.balser at gmx.net> wrote in message news:bo7pfk$am8$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Hi, > > I'm sort of stuck. > > I would like to have all elements in a list incremted by a given number > without defining a supplementary function. > > What I've done so far is: > > incFunc[n_]:=n+1; > Map[incFunc,{2,3,4,45,98}] > > which is all fine.
