Any given 21 lists must be the same length, which decides the length of the resulting list. 22 23 The list arguments are iterated together in order by index, while the non-list 24 arguments are used repeatedly for each iteration. The format string is evaluated 25 once per element of the list arguments. 26 27 ## Examples 28 29 ``` 30 > formatlist("Hello, %s!", ["Valentina", "Ander", "Olivia", "Sam"]) 31 [ 32 "Hello, Valentina!", 33 "Hello, Ander!", 34 "Hello, Olivia!", 35 "Hello, Sam!", 36 ] 37 > formatlist("%s, %s!", "Salutations", ["Valentina", "Ander", "Olivia", "Sam"]) 38 [ 39 "Salutations, Valentina!", 40 "Salutations, Ander!", 41 "Salutations, Olivia!", 42 "Salutations, Sam!", 43 ] 44 ``` 45 46 ## Related Functions 47 48 * [`format`](/language/functions/format) defines the specification syntax used by this 49 function and produces a single string as its result.
