Python iterating through array of floats

Question

pointArray contains floats in form [[x1 y1 z1][x2 y2 z2]...[xn yn zn]]

for point in pointArray
xVal, yVal, zVal = tuple(point[0])

Returns
TypeError: ‘float’ object is not iterable

Answer 1

But I think the problem is:
xVal, yVal, zVal, = tuple (point[0])
use
xVal, yVal, zVal, = tuple(point)
or just
xVal, yVal, zVal, = point
because point[0] is a float and a float cannot be converted to a tuple (a tuple is an iterable)

Answer 2

Please provide the full code

Answer 3

Then provide a code snippet, with actual values not variable names

Answer 4

[[x1,y1,z1],[x2,y2,z2],.....]

Answer 5

That would be tricky, there is a lot of it and the issue is in this section.

Answer 6

I’ll check that, Yerucham. I was reusing some old code, processing points now.

Answer 7

That worked, thanks! I remember now that the tuple was there to preserve some structure from another library and so isn’t necessary here.
