You may replase <pre class='brush: python'>lst = [] for num in values: lst.append(abs(one-num)) </pre> with list comprehension <pre class='brush: python'>lst = [abs(one-num) for num in values] # or lst = list(...the same) </pre> In a lot of cases it's even better to use <a href="https://peps.python.org/pep-0289/">generator expressions</a> <pre class='brush: python'>lst = (abs(one-num) for num in values) </pre> as more memory efficient.
