Can you explain more what's problematic with a list?

My best understanding so far of the problem is that the original
questioner is trying to compute a tabulation of results.  For example,
I think they're trying to compute the squares of the numbers 1 up to
some large number like 20.  In that scenario, lists seem like a
reasonable representation for such a table.
