# Python – Redistribute Trimmed Values

PythonServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

When it is required to redistribute the trimmed values, a list comprehension and the ‘/’ operator are used.

## Example

Below is a demonstration of the same

my_list = [11, 26, 24, 75, 96, 37, 48, 29, 93]

print("The list is :")
print(my_list)

key = 2
print("The value of key is")
print(key)
full_sum = sum(my_list)

trimmed_list = my_list[key:len(my_list) - key]
trim_sum = sum(trimmed_list)

add_value = (full_sum - trim_sum) / len(trimmed_list)
result = [ele + add_value for ele in trimmed_list]

print("The resultant list is:")
print(result)

## Output

The list is :
[11, 26, 24, 75, 96, 37, 48, 29, 93]
The value of key is
2
The resultant list is:
[55.8, 106.8, 127.8, 68.8, 79.8]

## Explanation

• A list is defined and is displayed on the console.

• The value for key is defined and is displayed on the console.

• The elements of the list are summed using the ‘sum’ method.

• This result is assigned to a variable.

• List comprehension is used to iterate over the length within a specific range.

• This is also summed and assigned to a varibale.

• The ‘/’ operator is used to get the value that needs to be added.

• This is the difference between sum of list and sum of list in a specific range, and dividing this by the length of the list which has sum within a specific range.

• A list comprehension is used to add the element of the list in a specific range to the value that needs to be added.

• This is assigned to a variable.

• This is displayed as the output on the console.
