Dear MathGroup, Given the list A= {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h}, I'd like to tell Mathematica (5.2) that a,b,...,e are +ve, and f,g,h are -ve. I'm using the following Table[Sign[A[[i]]]^=1,{i,5}]; Table[Sign[A[[i]]]^=-1,{i,6,8}]; My queries are : 1. Is it possible to combine the above into 1 Table[]? 2. How do I achieve the same thing with the construct x/:Sign[x]=1 in Table ? 3. Any more efficient ways of doing those sign declarations? Thanking you in advance. Ajit. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question? Someone out there knows the answer. Try it now. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/
