Imagine I want to track the progress of constructing a complex Table or Do object by temporarily printing the iteration number. For example, if I do

Table[PrintTemporary[i];, {i, 20}]

I get

enter image description here

which is almost what I want, but I would rather have each print vanish at each step and get replaced by the following one so that I don't produce this huge list. Any ideas?

  • $\begingroup$ I've been using PrintTemporary[Dynamic[i]];Table[Pause[0.1], {i, 0, 100}] but this is nicer. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 30, 2022 at 16:14
  • $\begingroup$ @ChrisK I think it's pretty much the same, but Monitor is more integrated and a bit more careful with localizing the variables. Maybe someone who knows more about variable scoping can give more information on this point. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 30, 2022 at 17:08
