If you have data both in list or generator, you can simplify the calculation by using sum(), max() and min() built-in functions.
>>> mylist = [_ * 3 for _ in range(10)] >>> mylist [0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27] >>> max(mylist) 27 >>> min(mylist) 0 >>> sum(mylist) 135 if you use a generator, you need to re-create the iterated objects by re-defined the generator objects.
>>> mygenerator = (_ * 3 for _ in range(10)) >>> mygenerator <generator object <genexpr> at 0x1035170d0> >>> max(mygenerator) 27 >>> min(mygenerator) # all objects have been iterated in the previous calculation max Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence >>> mygenerator = (_ * 3 for _ in range(10)) >>> min(mygenerator) 0 >>> sum(_ * 3 for _ in range(10)) 135 >>> and you can also use methods in statistics module:
>>> import statistics >>> statistics.median_low(_ * 3 for _ in range(10)) 12 >>> statistics.median_high(_ * 3 for _ in range(10)) 15 >>> statistics.median(_ * 3 for _ in range(10)) 13.5 >>> statistics.mean(_ * 3 for _ in range(10)) 13.5 >>> statistics.mean(mylist) 13.5 >>> statistics.median_low(mylist) 12 see all statistics methods at https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/statistics.html
