SUM($1,$3) doesn't work? If the column is a non-double then it is converted to a 0.

So I asked a question earlier, but figured it wasn't very clear and thus
less likely to get answered, so here goes.

I have 2 sources with seperate ngrams and counts and after doing a full
out join i get:

Example with numbers:
dog,10,dog,20
cat,5,null/empty,null/empty
null/empty, null/empty,mouse,10

If i want to sum up $1 with $3 the first row would give me
dog,10,dog,20,30

However, when I cat the results out, the second row looks like
cat,5,emtpy,emtpy,empty

And Lastly, the 3rd appears like
empty,empty,mouse,10,emtpy

So if there is not a count in position $1 or $3, then I cannot add them
together.

How do I replace the emtpy with a 0 so I can perform the summation in
the last column?

Desired Output:
dog,10,dog,20,30
cat,5,emtpy,0,5
empty,0,mouse,10,10

Thanks guys.
