The Python library, NumPy, has a method called add()
, which can be used to find the addition of two arrays element-wise.
numpy.add()
methodThe numpy.add()
method returns the addition of two input arrays. It does it element by element.
Note: A two-dimensional (2D) array can be created using a list of lists in Python.
numpy.add(arr1,arr2, where=True, dtype=None, out=None)
arr1
: This is an array that represents input data.arr2
: This is an array that represents input data.where
: This is an optional parameter. The output array will be set to the ufunc
result at locations where the condition is True
. Otherwise, the output array will keep its original value.dtype
: This is an optional parameter. It represents the return type of the array.out
: This is an optional parameter. It represents the alternative output array in which the result is to be placed.The numpy.add()
method returns the addition of the given input arrays.
Note: If the
out
parameter is specified, it returns an array reference toout
.
The following code shows how to find the addition of the two-dimensional (2D) arrays using the numpy.add()
method.
# import numpyimport numpy as np# create an arrarr1 = ([24,8,3,-4],[2,9,5,-7])arr2 = ([5,7,2,1],[10,3,-6,9])# compute the addition of the arraysresult = np.add(arr1,arr2)print(result)
numpy
library.arr1
and arr2
.np.add()
to compute the addition of the two arrays.
