Most importantly, you are not changing >the list `b` in place. I don't understand why you do not see what I had posted as comparable since it outputs the same result as described. If your objection is simply I did not modify the original array, that is trivial to change. Where I had posted m = b Unitize@Clip[a, {1, 15}, {0, 0}] this could be done as: b = b Unitize@Clip[a, {1, 15}, {0, 0}] which would change the original array. In either case, what is returned is an array containing the elements of b except those that exceed 15 which are replaced with 0. That is: In[18]:= a = RandomInteger[{1, 20}, {4, 3}] Out[18]= {{8, 9, 11}, {16, 7, 20}, {4, 6, 3}, {12, 13, 16}} In[19]:= b = RandomReal[1, {4, 3}]; b = b Unitize@Clip[a, {1, 15}, {0, 0}]; In[21]:= a Unitize[b] Out[21]= {{8, 9, 11}, {0, 7, 0}, {4, 6, 3}, {12, 13, 0}} showing b now has a 0 where a has a value greater than 15
