MapIndexed

MapIndexed[f, expr] returns a new expression with the same head as expr, but with f mapped to each of the arguments. Additionally, MapIdnexed supplies the part specification of the subexpression as the second argument of f. Map[f, expr, levelspec] maps f to all subexpressions that match the level specification levelspec, also supplying the part specification for each subexpression as the second argument to f.
