normalizeValues

The normalizeValues() function normalizes an array of numbers so that they fall within a specific range.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
nums	Array	The array of numbers to normalize
min	Number	The minimum value of the new range, set to 0 by default
max	Number	The maximum value of the new range, set to 1 by default

Returns

• Array: The normalized array of numbers

Throws

• Error: If the input is not an array or if the array is empty
• Error: If min is greater than or equal to max

Example

using the default range: [0, 1]

const utils = require('utils-core.js');
const nums = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];
const normalized = utils.math.normalizeValues(nums);
console.log(normalized);
// output: [0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1]

using the range: [10, 50]

const utils = require('utils-core.js');
const nums = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50];
const min = 10;
const max = 50;
const normalized = normalizeValues(nums, min, max);
console.log(normalized);
// output: [10, 18, 26, 34, 42]
