How to Sum List Items in R (2 Examples)
In this R tutorial you’ll learn how to sum list elements.
Example Data
x <- list(c(7, 3, 8), # Constructing list in R c(8, 3, 6), 9:7) x # [[1]] # [1] 7 3 8 # # [[2]] # [1] 8 3 6 # # [[3]] # [1] 9 8 7 |
x <- list(c(7, 3, 8), # Constructing list in R c(8, 3, 6), 9:7) x # [[1]] # [1] 7 3 8 # # [[2]] # [1] 8 3 6 # # [[3]] # [1] 9 8 7
Example 1: Get Sum Within List Item
sapply(x, sum) # Using sapply function # [1] 18 17 24 |
sapply(x, sum) # Using sapply function # [1] 18 17 24
Example 2: Get Sum Between Different List Items
Reduce("+", x) # Using Reduce function # [1] 24 14 21 |
Reduce("+", x) # Using Reduce function # [1] 24 14 21
