we have a new symbolic construct, Threaded , that effectively allows you to easily generalize listability. You can give Threaded as an argument to any listable function, not just Plus and Times : &#10005. we’re adding SymmetricDifference : find elements that (in the 2-argument case) are in one list or the other, but not both.

It began partly as an empirical law, and partly as something abstractly constructed on the basis of the idea of molecules, that nobody at the time knew for sure existed. But what’s important for our purposes here is that in the setup Carnot constructed he basically ended up introducing the Second Law.

Then for each function (or other construct in the language) there are pages that explain the function, with extensive examples. One new construct added in Version 13.1 —and And now there’s a way to specify that, using Threaded : In a sense, Threaded is part of a new wave of symbolic constructs that have “ambient effects” on lists.

has a very flexible way of representing its results, that allows for different numbers of variables, different numbers of solutions, etc. &#10005. Having this as a single function makes it easier to use in functional programming constructs like this: &#10005. This constructs a 2-level family tree: &#10005.
