In Python, matrices can be implemented as nested list. Each element of the matrix is treated as a row. For example X = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]] would represent a 3×2 matrix. First row can be selected as X[0] and the element in first row, first column can be selected as X[0][0].

Let’s take two matrices X and Y, having the following value:

Create a new matrix result by adding them.
