Hi,
I have a list of tuples (always pairs) like this:
[(0, 1), (2, 3), (5, 7), (2, 1)]
I'd like to find the sum of the first items in each pair, i.e.:
0 + 2 + 5 + 2
How can I do this in python? At the moment I'm iterating through the list:
sum = 0
for pair in list_of_pairs:
sum += pair[0]
but I have a feeling there must be a more pythonic way.
Thanks,
Ben
