python - multiply and add each element in list a with list b

Question

function:

def unique_common(a, b):

I have two lists, lets say:

a = [2, 3, 5, 7, 9] 

and another list

b = [5, 8         


        

Answer 1

And also you can use map :

>>> a = [2, 3, 5, 7, 9] 
>>> b = [5, 8, 4, 1, 11]
>>> sum(map(lambda x: x[0] * x[1], zip(a, b)))
