I was bored and sketched out this idea in pseudocode( I will try to turn it into C++ later) for taking a set of numeric data and manipulating it. I ran through it manually and it seems to put the data in a range [0, something]

count =
data[count] = { d_0, d_1, … , d_(count -1) }
sigma = $Σ_{a∈ℕ} data_a$
avg = sum / count

newData[count] = {}

for x in data
  append (x · avg)/count to newData

What I am curious about, is if this "doodle" has any potential uses, or if it can be extended somehow?

Your computer will get bored, too, dividing (over?) by count over and again. Use
avg_count = sum / count / count - or
scale = something / sum

  • \$\begingroup\$ I guess I fail to see algorithm, and I'm not sure I like to see pseudocode here. From What topics can I ask about here?: actual code from a project rather than pseudo-code. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 24, 2020 at 5:25
