How to do it...

In this section, we will normalize the values of a vector from an example numeric range to a normalized one in two different ways, one of them using std::minmax_element and one using std::clamp:

1. As always, we first need to include the following headers and declare that we use the std namespace:

       #include <iostream>       #include <vector>       #include <algorithm>       #include <iterator>              using namespace std;

2. We implement a function for later use, which accepts the minimum and maximum values of a range, and a new maximum so that it can project values from the old range to a smaller range that we want to have. The function object takes such values and returns another function object, which does exactly that transformation. For the sake ...
