Can anyone help me with a program to check for Herone Triangle in the specified range of tries to max_tries? I'm having trouble with the math.sqrt() function.
This is the code I have so far:
import math
max_tries = 10000
tries = 1
half_perimeter = ((tries * 3) + 3) / 2
for num in range(tries,max_try,1):
area = math.sqrt(half_perimeter * (half_perimeter - tries) * (half_perimeter - tries - 1) * (half_perimeter - tries - 2))
if isinstance(area, int ) == True:
print (tries)
tries = tries + 1
else :
tries = tries + 1
Every time I run the code, I encounter a ValueError: math domain error from Python. Can someone help me identify the issue with my code? The full error message is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\phong\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Herone Triangle.py", line 9, in <module>
area = math.sqrt(half_perimeter * (half_perimeter - tries) * (half_perimeter - tries - 1) * (half_perimeter - tries - 2))
ValueError: math domain error
I am fairly new to Python programming and would appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thank you!
