Element-wise addition of 2 lists?

Question

I have now:

list1 = [1, 2, 3]
list2 = [4, 5, 6]

I wish to have:

[1, 2, 3]
 +  +  +         


        

Answer 1

This is simple with numpy.add()

import numpy

list1 = numpy.array([1, 2, 3])
list2 = numpy.array([4, 5, 6])
result = numpy.add(list1, list2) # result receive element-wise addition of list1 and list2
print(result)
array([5, 7, 9])

See doc here

If you want to receiver a python list:

result.tolist()
