I have list of lists and i need to sum the inner lists, for example,
a = [[1,2,3], [2,1,4], [4,3,6]]
for my case, the len of a[i] is same, that is all the inner lists have same dimension.
and i need the output as
result = [6,7,13]
what i did is:
result = [sum(a[i]) for i in range(len(a))]
Since my len(a) is very high, i hope there will be a alternative way to get the result without using the for loop.
result = map(sum, a)
Is the way I would do it. Alternatively:
result = [sum(b) for b in a]
The second variation is the same as yours, except it avoids the unnecessary range statement. In Python, you can iterate over lists directly without having to keep a separate variable as an index.
I know that no one like it but just to give an option:
result = [reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, l) for l in a]
A simple answer.
a = [[1,2,3], [2,1,4], [4,3,6]]
result = [sum(l) for l in a]
result
[6, 7, 13]
