I'm trying to use the pow(x, n) function to take the nth root of x, where n is defined in initialize(context), is named context.n, and is a fraction (typically either 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4). For some reason, it's rounding context.n to the nearest integer, which is 0 in this case, which means my math always evaluates to 1.
Here's a sample for improved readability:
def initialize(context):
context.n = 1 / 3
def handle_data(context, data):
x = 0.585 / 0.969
p = pow(x,context.n) # evaluates to 1
logmsg = "\n({num} / {den}) ^ {exp} = {ans}"
log.debug(logmsg.format(num=0.585,den=0.969,exp=context.n,ans=p) Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: I should point out that I've tried separating context.n into two separate numbers, the numerator and the denominator, and it does the same thing.
