ValueError: math domain error
Your code is doing a log
of a number that is less than or equal to zero. That's mathematically undefined, so Python's log
function raises an exception. Here's an example:
>>> from math import log
>>> log(-1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#59>", line 1, in <module>
log(-1)
ValueError: math domain error
Without knowing what your newtonRaphson2
function does, I'm not sure I can guess where the invalid x[2]
value is coming from, but hopefully this will lead you on the right track.
you are getting math domain error for either one of the reason : either you are trying to use a negative number inside log function or a zero value.
We face this problem when we use log()
or sqrt()
from math
library. In this problem “math domain error”, we are using a negative number like (-1 or another) or a zero number where we should not be use.
You may also use math.log1p
.
According to the official documentation :
math.log1p(x)
Return the natural logarithm of 1+x (base e). The result is calculated in a way which is accurate for x near zero.
You may convert back to the original value using math.expm1
which returns e
raised to the power x, minus 1.
