Map/Apply over a list with optional arguments

Hello,

I have a list

x = {a, b, c, d}

and can be mapped to the function using

Map[f, x]

Say if the function takes two arguments, is this possible to get

{f[arg1,a], f[arg1,b], f[arg1,c], f[arg1,d]}

many thanks!

f[arg1,#]&/@x

Here I used an anonymous function. Note that Map[f,x] is the same as:

f/@x

The pure function approach is usually best. If for some reason you want to avoid that, could curry the thing as below.

f[arg_][x_] := f[arg,x]

Now you can do

Map[f[arg1], list]

Thread works, too.

In[1]:= x = {a, b, c, d};                                                          

In[2]:= Thread[ f[arg1, x] ]                                                       
Out[2]= {f[arg1, a], f[arg1, b], f[arg1, c], f[arg1, d]}
