Dumb Founded,
Why do you keep complaining that Mathematica does not work when you feed
it mangled syntax? Would a C compiler produce anything useful if you fed
it Fortran, or half-Fortran-half-C?
Perhaps you should start with some working code - say from the help
files - and gradually modify it.
In particular, please note that b[i] calls a function with the name b,
b[[i]] accesses a 1-dimensional array stored in b, but only if you have
already set up the variable b to be an array:
b=Array[0&,10];
b[[5]]=3;
b
{0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
