I was attempting to do a discrete Fourier transform through a computer program on a list of numbers. Before doing that I decided to test it by running through a list of 1000 numbers which I created by summing 20 sine waves which were created by the formula sin(2*pi*integer between 1 and 1000/ desired frequency). Based upon my understanding of the DFT I should have got a 0 for all values except for my twenty desired frequencies of 8, 13, 13, 14, 18, 23, 25, 32, 33, 38, 41, 48, 51, 64, 73, 79, 82, 85, 91, and 100. Some of my first outputs were:0 : (-140.00101976200014-0j)1 : (-140.50548903670193-3.1117640585553277j)2 : (-142.0510770346883-6.33051372898894j)3 : (-144.74035295772114-9.776661681575883j)4 : (-148.76670548437778-13.601419744876273j)5 : (-154.45783389980753-18.014310511371548j)6 : (-162.3639888189583-23.333771555566614j)From this program in python 3.2:import cmathdef compute_dft(input):n = len(input)output = [0] * nfor k in range(n):      s = 0    for t in range(n):          s += input[t] * cmath.exp(-1j * 2 * cmath.pi * t * k / n)    output[k] = -sreturn outputanswer = compute_dft(unsorted_v)for item in answer:print(answer.index(item), :, item)I then went and checked the program on some examples of a DFT online and found that the answers it spit out were the same as the examples answers, which led me to wonder if my expectations of the output was wrong.Any advice on resolving my problem would be much appreciated.
