How to multiply all elements in a list python?

Question

Problem:

Recently I started learning python and just about to know more about list and tuple in python. I am a little bit known to the list and tuple and I can add or subtracts elements in a list. I wonder how to multiply all elements in a list python? I tried it in the adding process but it didn’t work for me. Is it doable?
Could anybody please show me the way to do it?

Answer 1

Yes! Multiplication of all elements in a list of python is doable. You can multiply the elements in a couple of ways. I am trying to make it easier that you can understand the program real quick.

Method 1: Traversal

def multiList(numList) :       
    value = 1
    for n in numList: 
         value = value * n  
    return value        
list1 = [1, 2, 3]  
list2 = [3, 4, 5]

print(multiList(list1)) 
print(multiList(list2)) 

Method 2: Using numpy.prod()

import numpy  
list1 = [1, 2, 3]  
list2 = [3, 4, 5] 
  
value1 = numpy.prod(list1) 
value2 = numpy.prod(list2) 
print(value1) 
print(value2) 

Both of the case will produce an output:

6
60
