How do I sum a list<> of arrays

Question

I have a List< int[] > myList, where I know that all the int[] arrays are the same length - for the sake of argument, let us say I have 500 arrays, each is 2048 elements long

Answer 1

This works with any 2 sequences, not just arrays:

var myList = new List
{
    new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 },
    new int[] { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 }
};

var sums =
    from array in myList
    from valueIndex in array.Select((value, index) => new { Value = value, Index = index })
    group valueIndex by valueIndex.Index into indexGroups
    select indexGroups.Select(indexGroup => indexGroup.Value).Sum()

foreach(var sum in sums)
{
    Console.WriteLine(sum);
}

// Prints:
//
// 11
// 22
// 33
// 44
// 55
// 66
// 77
// 88
// 99
