List functions

Question

You’re analyzing a data set and need to remove the outliers (the smallest and largest values.
The data is stored in a list).
Complete the code to remove the smallest and largest elements from the list and output the sum of the remaining numbers.

Answer 1

print(sum(sorted(li)[1:-1]))
# Hope this helps

Answer 2

Hint:-
1 - remove min value using min function
2 - remove max value using max function
3 - get sum using sum function.
You can remove min and max value using remove function.

Thanks guys, atlast this worked
data = [7, 5, 6.9, 1, 8, 42, 33, 128, 1024, 2, 8, 11, 0.4, 1024, 66, 809, 11, 8.9, 1.1, 3.42, 9, 100, 444, 78]
#your code goes here
data.remove(max(data))
data.remove(min(data))
print(sum(data))

Answer 4

Welcome! For better help for you please, show us your code attempt! and specify the programming language

Show your code.

Answer 6

Veena Tirmal there's only one thing, the "max" and "min" are functions of a list not its methods
Thus, they can't be used alone. you have to specify the lists to be evaluated, i.e
max(list_name)... in your case, max(data)

Answer 7

I tried that, not able to. Invalid syntax 🅰🅹 (Challenge Accepted)

Answer 8

Preferably by using python, try:
nums_list=[1,2,3,4,5,6]
sum=0
#removing the items with highest and lowest values in the list
nums_list.remove(max(nums))
nums_list.remove(min(nums))
#adding the remaining items
for a in nums_list:
sum+=a
print(sum)
The list is just an example. Feel free to correct me anyone, in case of an error

Answer 9

L=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
mx=mn=L[0]
s=0
for i in L:
    if i>mx:
        mx=i
    if i<mn:
        mn=i
L.remove(mx)
L.remove(mn)
for j in L:
    s+=j
print("largest value=",mx)
print("Smaller value=",mn)
print("Sum of remaining values=",s)

Answer 10

IMHO, this is not a good way to think about what list() does. True, square brackets [] are used to write a list literal, and are used when you tell a list to represent itself as a string, but ultimately, that's just notation. It's better to think of a Python list as a particular kind of container object with certain properties, eg it's ordered, indexable, iterable, mutable, etc.

Answer 13

In Python, you can use a list function which creates a collection that can be manipulated for your analysis. This collection of data is called a list object. While all methods are functions in Python, not all functions are methods.

Answer 14

data = [7, 5, 6.9, 1, 8, 42, 33, 128, 1024, 2, 8, 11, 0.4, 1024, 66, 809, 11, 8.9, 1.1, 3.42, 9, 100, 444, 78]
data.remove(max(data))
data.remove(min(data))
total=0.00
i=0
tamanho=len(data)
while i < tamanho:
total=total+data[i]
i=i+1
print(total)

Answer 15

// To find Max
int max=0;
for(int i=0;i<lenth;i++) // lenth = size of list
{
if(max<list[i])
{
max = list[i];
}
}
// After execution of for loop max have a value who is maximum in the list.
// To find Min
int min=list[0];
for(int i=0;i<lenth;i++) // lenth = size of list
{
if(min>=list[i])
{
min = list[i];
}
}
// After execution of for loop min have a value who is minum in the list.
// Then just remove max and min using the Remove function.
// To find Sum
int sum=0;
for(int i=0;i<lenth;i++) // lenth = size of list
{
sum = sum+list[i];
}
// After execution of for loop sum have a value of summation of the list.
