Summary: The most pythonic approach to add two lists element-wise is to use zip() to pair the elements at the same positions in both lists and then add the two elements. Here’s a quick look at the solution: [x + y for x, y in zip(li_1, li_2)]. An alternate proposition to this without using zip: … Read more
