Prefix sum array in Python using accumulate function
We are given an array, find prefix sums of given array.
Examples:
Input : arr = [1, 2, 3] Output : sum = [1, 3, 6] Input : arr = [4, 6, 12] Output : sum = [4, 10, 22]
A prefix sum is a sequence of partial sums of a given sequence. For example, the cumulative sums of the sequence {a, b, c, …} are a, a+b, a+b+c and so on. We can solve this problem in python quickly using accumulate(iterable) method.
# function to find cumulative sum of arrayfrom itertools import accumulate def cumulativeSum(input): print ("Sum :", list(accumulate(input))) # Driver programif __name__ == "__main__": input = [4, 6, 12] cumulativeSum(input) |
Output:
Sum = [4, 10, 22]
