不包括最大和最小数的数组总和

Question

I have to add up excluding the minimum and maximum of any list of numbers. This code work but it possible using a better solution only with 2 if and do not using a min/max function or another sum function pre existent?

def total(array):
    sum = 0
    min = array[0]
    max = array[0]
    for x in array:
        if x>max:
            if max != min:
                sum += max
            max = x
    elif x == max:
        pass
    elif x < min:
        if min != max:
            sum += min
        min = x
    elif x == min:
        pass
    else:
         sum+=x
print(min)
print(max)
return sum

Answer 1

This solution utilizes more off-the-shelf functions as opposed to fewer. That said, it only uses the traditional scientific computing stack so it's something you might want to become familiar with at some point depending on your goals. Most importantly, it makes the solution much more readable.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

xs = pd.Series([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,12])
xs[xs.between(np.min(xs),np.max(xs), inclusive=False)].sum()
