smart way of defining a table

Question

This is possibly a dumb question: inside a function, I first define

Rho = Table[xrho[m], {m, 1, k}]

then populate it using

Do[xrho[d] = q1^i q2^j; d++, {i, 1, Length[p]}, {j, 1, Length[p[[i]]]}]

and then update its value such that I can call it later inside the function

RhoTrue = Table[xrho[m], {m, 1, k}]

This works but seems dumb: is there a way to directly define it in therms of the other two (or more) counting variables?

you may want to have a look at https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/18395/57 (third bullet). — Sjoerd C. de Vries, Feb 28 '18 at 22:45

Not entirely sue what you're trying to do, but would the single line

RhoTrue = Flatten[Table[q1^i q2^j, {i, 1, Length[p]}, {j, 1, Length[p[[i]]]}]]

not work for you?

thanks, indeed it works; I said it was a dumb question :) – jj_p Mar 01 '18 at 02:39
