Suppose I have a list of variables:
vlist={a,b,c}
I want to set a=1, b=2, c=3, but the following doesn't work:
vlist={1,2,3}
After the previous statement, vlist = {1,2,3} but the values of a, b, and c are unassigned.
Of course the following is trivial:
{a,b,c}={1,2,3}
but I want the variables contained in vlist to be selected programatically.
Can anyone suggest a path forward?
