Hi all,
this works as (I) expected
-------------------------
Do[a[i] = i, {i, 10}]
Do[b[i] =a[i]+1, {i, 10}]
-------------------------
While this doesn't:
--------------------------
Do[a[i] = i, {i, 10}]
Do[b[i] :=a[i]+1, {i, 10}]
---------------------------
[note ":=" instead of "=" on the second line].
namely the output is: "b[2]:=a[i]+1" for all i
Is there any compact way to define: "b[i] :=a[i]+1" for all i ?
Thank you in advance,
David
