In the proof of the Heisenberg inequality we reach ∫∣f∣2≤2(∫x2∣f∣2)1/2(∫∣f′∣2)1/2\int|f|^2 \le 2\left(\int x^2|f|^2\right)^{1/2}\left(\int|f'|^2\right)^{1/2}. Which result converts ∫∣f′∣2\int |f'|^2 into a statement about f^\hat f?

Write dft(a) returning the discrete Fourier transform Ak=∑j=0N−1aje−2πijk/NA_k = \sum_{j=0}^{N-1} a_j e^{-2\pi i jk/N}, k=0,…,N−1k = 0, \dots, N-1, of a list a of NN numbers (use cmath). The tests check Parseval's identity for Z/N\Z/N: ∑k∣Ak∣2=N∑j∣aj∣2\sum_k |A_k|^2 = N\sum_j |a_j|^2.
