Add SUM of values of two LISTS into new LIST

The zip function is useful here, used with a list comprehension.

[x + y for x, y in zip(first, second)]

If you have a list of lists (instead of just two lists):

lists_of_lists = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]][sum(x) for x in zip(*lists_of_lists)]# -> [5, 7, 9]

python list sum

From docs

import operatorlist(map(operator.add, first,second))

python list sum

Default behavior in numpy is add componentwise

import numpy as npnp.add(first, second)

which outputs

array([7,9,11,13,15])
