Function `std.numeric.normalize`

Normalizes values in range by multiplying each element with a number chosen such that values sum up to sum. If elements in range sum to zero, assigns sum / range.length to all. Normalization makes sense only if all elements in range are positive. normalize assumes that is the case without checking it.


						
				bool normalize(R)
				(
				

				  R range,
				

				  ElementType!R sum = 1
				

				)
				

				if (isForwardRange!R);

Returns

true if normalization completed normally, false if all elements in range were zero or if range is empty.

Example

double[] a = [];
assert(!normalize(a));
a = [ 1.0, 3.0 ];
assert(normalize(a));
writeln(a); // [0.25, 0.75]
a = [ 0.0, 0.0 ];
assert(!normalize(a));
writeln(a); // [0.5, 0.5]
