Question

For this exercise

When analyzing data sets, such as data for human heights or for human weights, a common step is to adjust the data. This adjustment can be done by normalizing to values between 0 and 1, or throwing away outliers.

For this program, adjust the values by dividing all values by the largest value. The input begins with an integer indicating the number of floating-point values that follow.

Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:
print('{:.2f}'.format(your_value))

 

I wrote:

 

num_float = int(input())

list_float = []
for i in range(num_float):
num = input()
list_float.append(num)

max_value = max(list_float)
for i in range(num_float):
list_float[i] = float(list_float[i]) / float(max_value)

print('{:.2f}'.format(list_float[i]))

 

everything appears working fine, but for the 'max_value', the system is always picking the last number of the list instead the greater number in it. I thought that by using max() would do that automatically.Thank you!
