I have trouble with the code beneath to make an array with equally spaced values When I enter 100e-6 as start value, 700e-6 as end value and 100e-6 I get the following result: [ 0.0001 0.00022 0.00034 0.00046 0.00058 0.0007 ] But I was hoping for: [ 0.0001 0.0002 0.0003 0.0004 0.0005 0.0006 0.0007] It works correctly for other values like 1,7,1 but not for 0.1,0.7,0.1 then again for 0.01,0.07,0.01
What I find strange is that for the 1st example "1+abs(float(endvalue)- float(startvalue))/float(incr)" gives 7.0 but int() of this value gives 6 can someone provide help with this issue? thanks jean #!/usr/bin/python import math import numpy as np print "Enter start value as a float (e.g. 0.001) or in scientific notation (e.g. 1e-3): ", startvalue = raw_input() print "Enter end value: ", endvalue = raw_input() print "Enter step: ", incr = raw_input() #nom = number of measurements nom=int(1+abs(float(endvalue)-float(startvalue))/float(incr)) array=np.linspace(float(startvalue), float(endvalue), float(nom)) print "Array with current values: ",array -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
