I have a list of sublist of pairs. I wish sum the second elements of
the sublists when the first elements are equals
Example:
Int[]:={{1, a}, {2, b}, {1, c}, {2, d}, {2, e}, {3, f}}
I hope
Out[]:= {{1, a + c}, {2, b + c + e}, {3, f}}
I can do it as is it is shown below but could any body find and
easier solution.
list1 = {{1, a}, {2, b}, {1, c}, {2, d}, {2, e}, {3, f}};
list2 = GatherBy[list1, First];
{l1, l2} = Transpose[Plus @@@ GatherBy[list, First]];
Transpose[{l1/Length /@ list2 , l2}]
Hi, Guillermo,
I do not know, if you consider the following easier or not:
lst = {{1, a}, {2, b}, {1, c}, {2, d}, {2, e}, {3, f}};
test = First[#1] == First[#2] &;
f[x_] := {x[[1, 1]], Total[Transpose[x][[2]]]};
f /@ Split[Sort[lst, test], test]
{{3, f}, {2, b + d + e}, {1, a + c}}
If you want it to go in the growing order, add one more sorting:
Sort[f /@ Split[Sort[lst, test], test], #1[[1]] <= #2[[1]] &]
{{1, a + c}, {2, b + d + e}, {3, f}}
Have fun, Alexei
