PROGRAM EXPLANATION

Algorithm and explanation

  1. Initialize the sample values used to apply standard scaling.
  2. Process the data step by step using StandardScaler and Z-score.
  3. Display the result for apply standard scaling and compare it with the documented sample output.

This example of apply standard scaling processes the sample values in a controlled iteration. It demonstrates StandardScaler and Z-score and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST

Common mistakes

Check this

For apply standard scaling, keep the data shape and value types consistent with StandardScaler.

Check this

Keep every dependent statement inside the correct indented Python block.

Check this

Check denominators, numeric ranges and rounding before comparing the calculated value.

Try it yourself

Practice: Run the program with the sample input, predict its output, and then test one boundary case of your own.
