Hello people,

again struggling to find the name of the function which ranges all values in a list to a specific sum of the list.

Any help?

Do you mean: get-count

No.
The function which does something like this:

;; scale all numbers of lst that the sum of lst is 25
(setf lst '(1 2 3 4 5))
(setf list-sum (sum lst))
(setf scale 25)
(setf result1
(loop for i in lst
      collect (* 1.0 (* scale 
                         (/ i list-sum)))))
;; test (sum result1)
(setf result2
(loop for i in lst
      collect (round
               (* 1.0 (* scale 
                         (/ i list-sum))))))
;; test (sum result2)

 

(setf lst '(1 2 3 4 5))
(setf list-sum (sum lst))
(setf scale (/ 25 list-sum))

(scale-numbers scale lst)

 

I will add a round (keyword) into the function.

 

(scale-numbers scale lst :round t)
=> (2 3 5 7 8)

 

We could make a new function scale-to-sum 🙂

 

(scale-to-sum 25 '(1 2 3 4 5) :round t)
=> (2 3 5 7 8)

 

Will be part of the next update.

The function scale-to-sum is part of OM 3.0.29095

I would suggest to add a keyword :sum to the function scale-numbers.

Yes, this could be done. I will have a look.

Done:

(scale-numbers .3 '(3 4 2 3 4 2 1))
=> (0.90000004 1.2 0.6 0.90000004 1.2 0.6 0.3)

(scale-numbers 25 '(1 2 3 4 5) :sum t)
=> (1.6666666 3.3333333 5.0 6.6666665 8.333333)

 

Done in OM 3.0.29099
