Hi Guys,

Am new to Python, came across a strange looking piece of code as below....

I checked and it works but I am not understanding the return statement. Can you please help.....

def v_add(v, w):
   return [v_i + w_i for v_i, w_i in zip(v, w)]

can any one please elaborate the return statement here in depth?

Thanks,
PL
