Hi Kevin,
I'm still confused by the problem. Let's try small examples.
Let's say we had this:
##########################
x = [13]
scaledX = scale(x, 0, 1.0)
##########################
What would 'scaledX' have? I'm asking because I have no clue from the
problem description! *grin*
(There's some hidden knowledge that you have about the problem, so I'm
trying to make sure it's out in the open.)
We can ask the same question with a slightly larger (but still small)
example:
x = [13, 71]
What should we expect from things like:
scale(x, 0.0, 1.0)
scale(x, 0.0, 2.0)
scale(x, 1.0, 2.0)
The results of small examples will help clarify what we'd need to do to
make scale() work.
Good luck to you!
