Hi this is Katy Steven
I am in 3rd year of engineering, and as my interest is towards learning Python, I have start learning and coding of Python. Now I want to learn how to add two matrix in python. Can anyone suggest me detailed information of this. In short I have require a Python program to add two matrix in Python.

Hope I will get positive reply from you guys.

Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks

To add two matrices in Python, you can use the following steps:

1. Define two matrices as nested lists.
2. Iterate through each row and column of the matrices, adding the corresponding elements and storing the result in a new matrix.
3. Print the new matrix.

Here is a short Python program to add two matrices:

def add_matrices(matrix1, matrix2):
sum_matrix = []
for i in range(len(matrix1)):
row = []
for j in range(len(matrix1[0])):
row.append(matrix1[i][j] + matrix2[i][j])
sum_matrix.append(row)
return sum_matrix




# Example usage:


matrix1 = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
matrix2 = [[5, 6], [7, 8]]


sum_matrix = add_matrices(matrix1, matrix2)


print(sum_matrix)

Output:
[[6, 8], [10, 12]]
You can also use the NumPy library to add two matrices in Python development. To do this, you would first need to convert the two matrices to NumPy arrays, and then use the numpy.add() function to add the two matrices.
