python中的数学模块的sqrt_python数学域错误-sqrt

What causes the problem?

from math import sqrt

print "a : "

a = float(raw_input())

print "b : "

b = float(raw_input())

print "c : "

c = float(raw_input())

d = (a + b + c)/2

s = sqrt(d*(d-a)*(d-b)*(d-c))

print "a+b+c =", a, b, c

print "Distr. =", d*2, "Area =", s

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:/Python27/fájlok/háromszög terület2.py", line 11, in

s = sqrt(d*(d-a)*(d-b)*(d-c))

ValueError: math domain error

解决方案

The problem is that the Heron's formula holds good only when the sum of the two numbers are greater than the third. You need to check that explicitly.

A better way as you are using a code to do that is by using Exception handling

try:

s = sqrt(d*(d-a)*(d-b)*(d-c))

print "a+b+c =", a, b, c

print "Distr. =", d*2, "Area =", s

except ValueError:

print "Please enter 3 valid sides"

If you want to do it without try block you can do it as

delta = (d*(d-a)*(d-b)*(d-c))

if delta>0:

s = sqrt(delta)

print "a+b+c =", a, b, c

print "Distr. =", d*2, "Area =", s

else:

print "Please enter 3 valid sides"
