(mapcar function list1 [list2 ...])

Apply the function to the list.

This function is one of the most powerful tools for handling large lists. Mapcar performs a function on each of the elements of a list, and then returns a second list. There can be multiple lists, but each list must have the correct number of items for the function to affect all the lists at one time.

Example
