ReplacePart

Usage

ReplacePart[expr, new, n] yields an expression in which the n part of expr is replaced by new.
ReplacePart[expr, new, {i, j, ... }] replaces the part at position {i, j, ... }.
ReplacePart[expr, new, {{ ,  , ... }, { ,  , ... }, ... }] replaces parts at several positions by new.
ReplacePart[expr, new, pos, npos] replaces parts at positions pos in expr by parts at positions npos in new.


Notes

• Example: ReplacePart[ a, b, c, d , x, 3]LongRightArrow .
• The list of positions used by ReplacePart is in the same form as is returned by the function Position.
ReplacePart[expr, Hold[new], pos, 1] can be used to replace a part without evaluating it.
• If pos and npos both specify multiple parts, each part in pos is replaced by the corresponding part in npos.
ReplacePart can be used on SparseArray objects.
• New in Version 2; modified in 3.
