Python Exercise: Compute element-wise sum of given tuples

Last update on December 21 2024 07:48:42 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program to compute the element-wise sum of given tuples.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

 # Define three tuples 'x', 'y', and 'z' with integer elements.
x = (1, 2, 3, 4)
y = (3, 5, 2, 1)
z = (2, 2, 3, 1)

# Print a message indicating the original lists of tuples.
print("Original lists:")
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)

# Print a message indicating the element-wise sum of the said tuples.

# Use the 'zip' function to pair corresponding elements from 'x', 'y', and 'z' tuples, and then use 'map' and 'sum' to calculate the element-wise sum.
result = tuple(map(sum, zip(x, y, z)))

# Print the 'result' tuple containing the element-wise sum.
print("\nElement-wise sum of the said tuples:")
print(result)

Sample Output:

Original lists:
(1, 2, 3, 4)
(3, 5, 2, 1)
(2, 2, 3, 1)

Element-wise sum of the said tuples:
(6, 9, 8, 6)

Flowchart:

Python Code Editor:

Previous: Write a Python program to check if a specified element presents in a tuple of tuples.
Next: Write a Python program to compute the sum of all the elements of each tuple stored inside a list of tuples.
