An example of how to sum elements from multiple lists of same size in python:
Lists of same length
Let's define for example 3 lists of same size in python:
a = [1,2,3,4]b = [10,20,30,40]c = [1,1,1,1]
Sum elements from multiple lists to create a new list
To create a new list by adding the element by adding elements from multiple lists, a solution is to use a list comprehension and zip:
d = [x+y+z for x, y, z in zip(a, b, c)]print(d)
returns
[12, 23, 34, 45]
Sum all elements
Note: to add all elements together just use sum():
tot = sum(d)print(tot)
returns
114
