Practice: find_range

Download starter code

Write a function named find_range that accepts a list of int s as a parameter and returns the range of values contained in the list. The range is defined to be one more than the difference between its largest and smallest elements.

For example, consider the list [12, 17, 6] . The largest element in this list is 17 and the smallest is 6 , so the range is 12 (one more than 17 - 6 ). If the largest and smallest values are the same, the range is 1 .

Requirements

• You may assume that the list contains at least one element (that its length is at least 1).

• You should not modify the contents of the list.

• You should not use a “nested-loop” to solve this problem (a loop inside a loop).
