Variable input in mapcar function

Hi all,

About getting the points that lies around a point (mipt) with a buffer of 0.3 is as given below:

(cons -4 "<AND")
(cons -4 ">=,>=,>=")(cons 10 (mapcar '- mipt '(0.3 0.3 0.3)))
(cons -4 "<=,<=,<=")(cons 10 (mapcar '+ mipt '(0.3 0.3 0.3)))
(cons -4 "AND>")

If I have to get the same result with a variable that replaces 0.3, it does not work.

That is,

(cons -4 "<AND")
(cons -4 ">=,>=,>=")(cons 10 (mapcar '- mipt '(a a a)))
(cons -4 "<=,<=,<=")(cons 10 (mapcar '+ mipt '(a a a)))
(cons -4 "AND>")
where a = 0.3.

How to use a variable in this kind of situation?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Change the '(a a a) to (list a a a)

 

And then search for what, Jeff?

Huh? Raghu didn't ask anything about searching. He only requested to know
how to pass a variable inside a mapcar function, nothing else......

 

Oops -- sorry, Jeff. I never noticed the top line (your actual response) of
your message. My duuhhh!!

Thank you very much Jeff. That was very simple AFTER You told me!
