Summing up matrices in a list

Dear all, I think that my question is very simple but I failed to solve it. I have a list which elements are matrices like this:
mylist
[[1]]
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 1 3 5
[2,] 2 4 6
[[2]]
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 7 9 11
[2,] 8 10 12
I'd like to create a matrix M<-mylist[[1]]+mylist[[2]]
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 8 12 16
[2,] 10 14 18
Is there a way to create M without looping?
Thanks a lot,
do.call("+", mylist)
[,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 8 12 16 [2,] 10 14 18 See ?do.call for more information. HTH, Marc Schwartz
