You'll have to include a counter for the item numbers - as it stands
now, you're putting 2^2 into item 2 of Y, 4^2 into item 4 of Y, and
6^2 into item 6 of Y (at least, that's what it did for me & what it
should do). This is because i is not the item number but the item
itself. You could do this:
put 1 into N
Repeat for each item i in X
put i^2 into item N of Y
add 1 to N
end repeat
