Hi,
Liking Mathematica a lot, but struggling with the early part of the learning curve, i.e. don't know what I don't know...
What would be the neatest syntax for finding the first location of elements from one list in another? For example:
listA = { 4,5,8,2,6,4 }
listB = { 8,4,2 }
I would like a function to return {3,1,4} in this case (the first location in A of each element in B)
Many thanks!
