Currently, if I want to apply the transformation effected by a function of a single variables f to all values in a list, I use makelist, e.g.
f(x):= x^2;
aList: [1,2,3,4];
f_aList: makelist(f(aList[i]), i, length(aList));
I have to do this so often that I was about to write a quick function that would handle this, e.g.
apply2list(f, aList):=
block([f:f, aList:aList],
makelist(f(aList[i]), i, length(aList))
);
for any single variable function f and list aList, but wondered if there was some way of doing this, already built in?
