python计算负数的平方根将产生_Python算负数平方根没有输出

def findRoot(x, power, epsilon):

没有注释掉

if x < 0 and power%2 == 0:

return None

之前输出正常：

Testing x = 0.25 and power = 1

0.25 ~= 0.25

Testing x = 0.25 and power = 2

0.25 ~= 0.25

Testing x = 0.25 and power = 3

0.249907490797 ~= 0.25

Testing x = -0.25 and power = 1

-0.25 ~= -0.25

Testing x = -0.25 and power = 2

No root

Testing x = -0.25 and power = 3

-0.249907490797 ~= -0.25

注释掉以后到Testing x = -0.25 and power = 2下边就没往下走了，而且程序也没有退出然后出现shell提示符>>>，为什么这里不是继续输出0 ~= -0.25或其他呢？
