Adjust list by normalizing When analyzing data sets, such as data for human heights or for human weights, a common step is to adjust the data. This can be done by normalizing to values between 0 and 1, or throwing away outliers. For this program, adjust the values by subtracting the smallest value from all the values. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of integers that follow. Assume that the list will always contain fewer than 20 integers. Ex: If the input is: 5 30 50 10 70 65 the output is: 20 40 0 60 55 The 5 indicates that there are five values in the list, namely 30, 50, 10, 70, and 65. 10 is the smallest value in the list, so is subtracted from each value in the list. For coding simplicity, follow every output value by a space, including the last one.

The program written in python 3 deducts the least from a list of user given integers and prints the output. The program goes thus :

len_input = int(input())

#the number of inputs the user wishes to supply

vals = []

#initialize an empty list to accept the inputs

for i in range(1, len_input +1):

#use a loop to accept the user inputs

num = int(input())

#allow users to take in the inputs

vals.append(num)

#append each value to the list

least =min(vals)

#using the min function, obtain the lowest value from the list

output_vals = []

#initialize an empty list to hold the normalized values

for i in range(len_input):

#loop using a for loop

diff = vals[i] - least

#deduct the minimum value from each element in the list

output_vals.append(diff)

#append the values to the new list.

print(output_vals)

#display the output

A sample run of the program and the script is attached.

I've implemented this program using python

userinput = int(input("Length: "))

mylist = []

mylist.append(userinput)

for i in range(1,userinput+1):

   userinp = int(input("Input: "))

   mylist.append(userinp)

smallval = mylist[1]

for i in range(1,len(mylist)):

   if smallval > mylist[i]:

       smallval = mylist[i]

for i in range(1,len(mylist)):

   mylist[i] = mylist[i] - smallval

for i in range(1,len(mylist)):

   print(mylist[i],end=' ')
