numpy.float64 is not iterable
<p>I'm trying to print a function which uses several parameters from numpy array's and lists, but I keep getting the error "numpy.float 64 object is not iterable". I've looked at several questions on the forum about this topic and tried different answers but none seem to work (or I might be doing something wrong I'm still a beginner at python) but it all comes down to the same thing, I'm stuck and I hope you guys can help. I'm using python 2.7, this is the code: </p>

<p>EDIT: Included the error message and changed the print to "print(T, (obj(T),))"</p>

<p>I suspect the problem is here:</p>

<pre><code>sum((.5*h[k]*(p[i]-d[i])* (p[i]/d[i])*(t[k])**2))
</code></pre>

<p>The end result of that expression is a float, isn't it? What is the sum() for?</p>
