I got this error when I am trying to evaluate an expression f(x1, x2, …) from a string based on given x1, x2, …
I = eval(string)
<string>:1: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in long_scalars
The string represent a very long expression (~ MBs in txt file) and contains huge numbers (>int32), I am wondering how could I solve this? Is there any way to define the data type for the calculation involved in eval (I am guessing int64 probably work)?
Thanks!
Solution
Yes, int64
will work.
Please change your int32
to int64
.
The maximum value storable in an int32
is 2**31-1
