How to sum elements at the same index in array of arrays into a single array?

Question

Let\'s say that I have an array of arrays, like so:

[
  [0, 1, 3],
  [2, 4, 6],
  [5, 5, 7],
  [10, 0, 3]
]

How do I generate a new array t

Answer 1

Assuming that the nested arrays will always have the same lengths, concat and reduce can be used.

    function totalIt (arr) {
        var lng = arr[0].length;
       return [].concat.apply([],arr)  //flatten the array
                .reduce( function(arr, val, ind){ //loop over and create a new array
                    var i = ind%lng;  //get the column
                    arr[i] = (arr[i] || 0) + val; //update total for column
                    return arr;  //return the updated array
                }, []);  //the new array used by reduce
    }
    
    var arr = [
      [0, 1, 3],
      [2, 4, 6],
      [5, 5, 7],
      [10, 0, 3]
    ];
    console.log(totalIt(arr));  //[17, 10, 19]
