Performing element-wise addition in NumPy arrays

Last update on December 21 2024 07:43:18 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Perform element-wise addition on two NumPy arrays.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import numpy as np

# Create two NumPy arrays
array1 = np.array([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])
array2 = np.array([100, 200, 300, 400, 500])

# Perform element-wise addition
result_array = array1 + array2

# Display the result
print(result_array)

Output:

[110 220 330 440 550]

Explanation:

In the exerciser above,

• Create two NumPy arrays, array1 and array2.
• The array1 + array2 expression performs element-wise addition.
• The result is stored in the result_array.
• The print(result_array) statement displays the resulting array.

We can apply the same approach for arrays of any shape and dimension. The + operator will perform element-wise addition on corresponding elements of the arrays.
