cannot convert float infinity to integer error despite rounding off floats

[Afterdarkreader]

So here's the full error information

Error:

And here's the code:

    y=initialPop
    yList = np.array([])
    x=0
    while x < 400:
        yList = np.append(yList, y)
        y = (y * np.exp(popGrowth * (x/4))) - (newsDiscussion(1, 20, x, 0.0015, 0.003, 0.55)*y)-(Tax2(156, 160, x, 0.05775, 0.1155, 0.55)*y)-(Tax1(80, 84, x, 0.77, 0.154, 0.55)*y)-(runVeganuaryMain(x)*y)
        y = round(y, 5)
        #y = newsDiscussion(1, 20, x, 0.0015, 0.003, 0.55)+(Tax2(156, 160, x, 0.05775, 0.1155, 0.55)*y)+(Tax1(80, 84, x, 0.77, 0.154, 0.55)*y)+(runVeganuaryMain(x)*y)
        x = x + 0.1
    return yList
yList = yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth)
print(yList)
    


x= np.linspace(0, 400, num=4000)
ax.set_title('Decrease in People Who Consume Animals ')
ax.set_xlabel('$Quarter$')
ax.set_ylabel('$Population$')
ax.plot(x, yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth), 'p-', lw=1, alpha=0.6, label='Major Graph')

Can anyone tell me what's causing this error?

So I figured out how to round the variables, but the function I used returns a string. Easy fix right? Just use Int()? Apparently not. My program is giving me a new error.

def yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth):
    y=initialPop
    yList = np.array([])
    x=0
    while x < 400:
        yList = np.append(yList, y)
        y = (y * np.exp(popGrowth * (x/4))) - (newsDiscussion(1, 20, x, 0.0015, 0.003, 0.55)*y)-(Tax2(156, 160, x, 0.05775, 0.1155, 0.55)*y)-(Tax1(80, 84, x, 0.77, 0.154, 0.55)*y)-(runVeganuaryMain(x)*y)
        y = int(format(y, '.5f'))
        x = x + 0.1
    return yList
yList = yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth)
print(yList)
    


x= np.linspace(0, 400, num=4000)
ax.set_title('Decrease in People Who Consume Animals ')
ax.set_xlabel('$Quarter$')
ax.set_ylabel('$Population$')
ax.plot(x, yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth), 'p-', lw=1, alpha=0.6, label='Major Graph')

Let's take a step back and just focus on the one line. What do you what to happen here?

Output:
>>> y = 1
>>> int(format(y, '.5f'))

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
    int(format(y, '.5f'))

I want int(format()) to round off to 5 decimal places, but because it returns a string. I want it to be a integer, so I added the int()

Note, I've also been trying:

y = '{:0.3e}'.format(y)
y = float(y)

but that gives me the same error with float infinity

I think my problem might be that I'm getting 'nan' values in my array. I'm not sure how to fix this

def yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth):
    y= float(initialPop)
    yList = np.array([])
    x=0
    while x < 400:
        yList = np.append(yList, '{:0.9}'.format(y))
        y = (float(y) * np.exp(popGrowth * (x/4))) - (newsDiscussion(1, 20, x, 0.0015, 0.003, 0.55)*float(y))-(Tax2(156, 160, x, 0.05775, 0.1155, 0.55)*float(y))-(Tax1(80, 84, x, 0.77, 0.154, 0.55)*float(y))-(runVeganuaryMain(x)*float(y))
        y = '{:0.9}'.format(y)
        y = float(y)
        x = x + 0.1
    return yList
yList = yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth)
print(yList)
    


x= np.linspace(0, 400, num=4000)
ax.set_title('Decrease in People Who Consume Animals ')
ax.set_xlabel('$Quarter$')
ax.set_ylabel('$Population$')
ax.plot(x, yFunction(initialPop, popGrowth), 'p-', lw=1, alpha=0.6, label='Major Graph')

Here's the weird array

Output:
['3.263e+08' '3.263e+08' '3.26357107e+08' ..., 'nan' 'nan' 'nan']

[micseydel]

If you want more than 0 decimal places, you want a float, not an int. After that, your nans might still be an issue but there's a lot going on here so I don't want to speculate, though you're welcome to give an update after replacing "int" with "float".
