Yeah, this should work: 

io:format("~w~n", [lists:map(fun(X)-> 20*X end,L)]).

  In cases like this, is there a way to explicitly show the result as numbers (as Hope expected)?

    Hi!

    Since strings in Erlang are just lists of integers, and the results of some of your tests are proper lists of strings, they’re *displayed* as strings.
    In other words "(Px?" = [40, 80, 120, 160]
    Hope that helps :)

      Hi, 

      I am a beginner,  and I got some strange result like this :

      1> L=[2,4,6,8].
      [2,4,6,8]
      2> lists:map(fun(X)-> 20*X end,L).
      "(Px?"
      3> lists:map(fun(X)-> 21*X end,L).
      "*T~‥"
      4> lists:map(fun(X)-> 27*X end,L).
      "6l¢O"
      5> lists:map(fun(X)-> 28*X end,L).
      "8p‥a"
      6> lists:map(fun(X)-> 29*X end,L).
      ":tRe"
      7> lists:map(fun(X)-> 30*X end,L).
      "<x’e"
      8> lists:map(fun(X)-> 31*X end,L).
      ">|oo"
      9> lists:map(fun(X)-> 32*X end,L).
      [64,128,192,256]
      10> lists:map(fun(X)-> 22*X end,L).
      [44,88,132,176]
      11> lists:map(fun(X)-> 23*X end,L).
      [46,92,138,184]
