vector multiplication python without numpy code example

Example: matrix multiplication python without numpy

The Numpythonic approach: (using numpy.dot in order to get the dot product of two matrices)

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [3]: np.dot([1,0,0,1,0,0], [[0,1],[1,1],[1,0],[1,0],[1,1],[0,1]])
Out[3]: array([1, 1])
The Pythonic approach:

The length of your second for loop is len(v) and you attempt to indexing v based on that so you got index Error . As a more pythonic way you can use zip function to get the columns of a list then use starmap and mul within a list comprehension:

In [13]: first,second=[1,0,0,1,0,0], [[0,1],[1,1],[1,0],[1,0],[1,1],[0,1]]

In [14]: from itertools import starmap

In [15]: from operator import mul

In [16]: [sum(starmap(mul, zip(first, col))) for col in zip(*second)]
Out[16]: [1, 1]
