Import `MinMaxScaler` from `sklearn.preprocessing`, instantiate it, and call `fit_transform` on the selected DataFrame columns. This fits the scaler to the data (learning min/max) and transforms the values to the [0, 1] range.
Conditions: Input data is numerical.; Scikit-learn library is installed.

In algorithms relying on distance metrics, features with larger numerical ranges will disproportionately influence the total distance. The feature with the larger scale will dominate the distance metric, regardless of its actual predictive importance, because its coordinate differences are numerically much larger.
Conditions: Applies to distance-based machine learning algorithms like KNN or K-means.; Features are not scaled or normalized.; Distance is computed using a standard metric like Euclidean distance.
