Python: Compute cumulative sum of numbers of a given list
Python Basic - 1: Exercise-92 with Solution
Write a Python program to compute the cumulative sum of numbers in a given list.
Note: Cumulative sum = sum of itself + all previous numbers in the said list.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def nums_cumulative_sum(nums_list):
return [sum(nums_list[:i+1]) for i in range(len(nums_list))]
print(nums_cumulative_sum([10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 7]))
print(nums_cumulative_sum([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))
print(nums_cumulative_sum([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))
Sample Output:
[10, 30, 60, 100, 150, 210, 217] [1, 3, 6, 10, 15] [0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15]
