PROGRAM EXPLANATION
Algorithm and explanation
- Initialize the sample values used to calculate a z-score.
- Apply Z-score and Standardization to compute the required result.
- Display the result for calculate a z-score and compare it with the documented sample output.
This example of calculate a z-score computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates Z-score and Standardization and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST
Common mistakes
For calculate a z-score, keep the data shape and value types consistent with Z-score.
Apply Z-score in the same order shown by the algorithm; changing the order can change the result.
Check denominators, numeric ranges and rounding before comparing the calculated value.
