Cartesian product of two or more lists

Task Show one or more idiomatic ways of generating the Cartesian product of two arbitrary lists in your language. Demonstrate that your function/method correctly returns: {1, 2} × {3, 4} = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)} and, in contrast: {3, 4} × {1, 2} = {(3, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1), (4, 2)} Also demonstrate, using your function/method, that the product of an empty list with any other list is empty. {1, 2} × {} = {} {} × {1, 2} = {} For extra credit, show or write a function returning the n-ary product of an arbitrary number of lists, each of arbitrary length. Your function might, for example, accept a single argument which is itself a list of lists, and return the n-ary product of those lists. Use your n-ary Cartesian product function to show the following products: {1776, 1789} × {7, 12} × {4, 14, 23} × {0, 1} {1, 2, 3} × {30} × {500, 100} {1, 2, 3} × {} × {500, 100}

No programs needed. Cartesian product is intrinsically supported in Fōrmulæ.

In a n-ary cartesian product of lists, the lists are the same, then the cartesian product exponentiation can be used:
