I don't think you really want Apply. You want function application. Try this. {{6945, -4545}, {6945, -4545}}; # + {-6750, 6435} & /@ % {{195, 1890}, {195, 1890}} David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: PengYu.UT at gmail.com [mailto:PengYu.UT at Gmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Please look at the following code. I'm wondering the output 1 doesn't give me the right answer. 6435-4545 should be 1890. Is there anything wrong with input 1? It seems that it is correct, because input 3 works well. Thanks, Peng In[1]:= Apply[(#+{-6750,6435})&,{{6945,-4545},{6945, -4545}},{1}] Out[1]= {{195,13380},{195, 13380}} In[2]:= {-6750,6435}+{6945,-4545} Out[2]= {195,1890} In[3]:= Apply[(#+{a,b})&,{{a1,b1},{a2,b2},{a3,b3}},{1}] Out[3]= {{a+a1,a1+b},{a+a2,a2+b},{a+a3,a3+b}}
