You need to show what you have done and where you are stuck. This site is not here to do your work for you.

You just have to apply the math formulas.

To add two vectors, whatever their size (they only need to have the same number of components), you just add their components pairwise, which gives you the new vector.
You do not have to store the magnitude and direction, as they are immediately computable from the resulting vector.

First thing to do would be to know how to add two vectors and compute their magnitude and direction by hand (i.e., without any computer); then you can start thinking about developping some code around it.
