How to add two arrays in Numpy?

Let’s check how to add two arrays in Numpy. We will use Numpy add method and one clever trick.

Using an add method

To add values of two different arrays in Numpy you should use Numpy add function. Add function takes arrays as arguments.

Code example of add function usage is np.add(my_array, my_second_array).

import numpy as np

my_array = np.array([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])
print(f"My array \n{my_array}")

my_second_array = np.array([50, 50, 50, 50, 50])
print(f"My second array \n{my_second_array}")

add_array = np.add(my_array, my_second_array)
print(f"My added arrays \n{add_array}")

sum_array = my_array + my_second_array
print(f"My summed arrays \n{sum_array}")

As you can see the same worked with simple + sign. This is the trick I wanted to share with you that you can simply add array and it also works fine!
