Anyway, this problem is a good demonstration how much simpler and clearer this can be than writing loops. Note that I tried to avoid arcane shortcuts like # and & for the formulation of the pure function: Map[ Function[{x}, If[x < 0, Style[x, Red], x]], Table[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {3}], {x, 1, 3}], {2} ] Of course for presentation purposes you might want to wrap the result with a Grid or MatrixForm. hth, albert
