[Tutor] An -1.#IND error

[Dinesh B Vadhia]

Luke:

This is literally the core of the code:

A = scipy.asmatrix(scipy.zeros((M, N), float))
q = scipy.asmatrix(scipy.zeros((N, 1)), float)
b = scipy.asmatrix(scipy.zeros((1, N)), float)

# populate A
# x is a vector of valid floats (I've checked)
# calculate b as:

b = A * x

After the matrix multiplication, the b vector elements are all "-1.#IND" 's.  Note that there are no divisions by zero in the program.


Cheers

Dinesh

A code sample would be _much_ more helpful here.
Please include one that exhibits the problem.
