My problem is as follows: I have a list of lists named ‘All_slips.’ I would like to loop through each of the lists within the list and sum all of its elements, and then append these sums to a new list called ‘Summed_list.’ As such my desired output/solution would be a ‘Summed_list’ = [10,16,19]. A minimum reproducible program is provided below:
All_slips = [[1,2,3,4],[1,3,5,7],[1,2,7,9]]
Summed_list = []
for j in All_slips[j][] :
counter = 0
for i in All_slips[j][i] :
counter += i
Summed_list.insert(len(Summed_list),counter)
print (Summed_list)
I am new to python and i obtain a syntax error on line 4: ‘for j in All_slips[j][]:’. What is the proper syntax to achieve what I stated above – I could not find another post that described this problem. Thanks in advance for your help.
>Solution :
summed_list = []
for sublist in All_slips:
summed_list.append(sum(sublist))
That’s all. You can also employ a list comprehension.
summed_list = [sum(sublist) for sublist in All_slips]
