sum the elements of 2 NumPy arrays

import numpy as np
n1=np.array([10,20,30,40,50,60])
n2=np.array([50,60,70,80])

np.sum([n1,n2])

I am trying the sum the elements of these arrays…..but it is throwing this error in jupiter notebook

Answer

np.sum(np.append(n1,n2))

You first need to append the two arrays together, then you can take the total sum.
