Another newbie question for coding. I understand how to remap values from one interval to a new interval in c# using the Linq methods, but I am having trouble getting that to work in C# for Gh and using a list of distances already created in my code.
So, I found the distances from a focus point (focus) to all other points in a grid using Distance.Add(p.distanceto(focus)), and so now I have output B which is all the distances calculated.
I now want to remap that outputted list of distances to a new Min/Max interval, for which I have created inputs w/ number sliders in the component.
How exactly do I write the code to use the Min/Max from the slider and the list of distances from my code? I have tried something like :
public static double mapToUnit(double x, double min, double max)
{
return (x - min) / (max - min);
}
or
public double MapValue(double a0, double a1, double b0, double b1, double a)
{
return b0 + (b1 - b0) * ((a-a0)/(a1-a0));
}
but I cannot get them to work with my inputs/outputs.

}
MapValue is a function and should not be put within the Runscript as you call it multiple times.
You needed to get the min and max value before remapping.
The remapping takes place after you find all the distances so you know the actual minimum and maximum distance.
