I would like to know what is the most efficient to implement the following computation. Given three lists

    a = {a_1,a_2, a_3, …, a_n}

    b = {b_1,b_2, b_3, …, b_n}

    c = {c_1,c_2, c_3, …, c_n} 

and a function $f(x_1,x_2,x_3)$, obtain

     f(a_1,b_1,c_1)   f(a_1,b_1,c_2)   .....   f(a_1,b_1,c_n)  

     f(a_2,b_2,c_1)   f(a_2,b_2,c_2)   .....   f(a_2,b_2,c_n) 

     .....            .....            .....   .....

     f(a_n,b_n,c_1)   f(a_n,b_n,c_2)   .....   f(a_n,b_n,c_n) 

I cannot find a solution not using For.

Here's one way to do it with Outer:

n = 3;

l1 = Array[a, n];

l2 = Array[b, n];

l3 = Array[c, n];



Outer[

  f[#1[[1]], #1[[2]], #2] &,

  Transpose @ {l1, l2},

  l3,

  1

]

Out[25]= {{f[a[1], b[1], c[1]], f[a[1], b[1], c[2]],
f[a[1], b[1], c[3]]}, {f[a[2], b[2], c[1]], f[a[2], b[2], c[2]],
f[a[2], b[2], c[3]]}, {f[a[3], b[3], c[1]], f[a[3], b[3], c[2]],
