Python Math: Create a range for floating numbers
72. Floating Point Range Creator
Write a Python program to create a range for floating numbers.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
#https://gist.github.com/axelpale/3e780ebdde4d99cbb69ffe8b1eada92c
def frange(x, y, jump=1.0):
i = 0.0
x = float(x) # Prevent yielding integers.
y = float(y) # Comparison converts y to float every time otherwise.
x0 = x
epsilon = jump / 2.0
yield x # yield always first value
while x + epsilon < y:
i += 1.0
x = x0 + i * jump
yield x
print(list(frange(0.0, 1.0, 0.1)))
Sample Output:
[0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.30000000000000004, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6000000000000001, 0.7000000000000001, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0]
