I am trying to calculate IRR and its giving me result in command line but whenever I am trying to pass the values as a parameter its failing with below error
Code
import numpy
import sys
def irrYearly(array):
array = [array]
irr = round(numpy.irr(array), 2)*100
return irr
def irrCal(tenure, array):
if tenure == "Yearly":
# return irrYearly(array)
# array = [-30000, -30000, -30000, -30000, -30000, 107180] -- if I uncomment this line its works fine
print(irrYearly(array))
elif tenure == "Monthly":
# return irrMonthly(array)
print(irrMonthly(array))
def main():
if len(sys.argv) == 3:
tenure = sys.argv[1]
array = sys.argv[2]
irrCal(tenure, array)
main()
Error
Please find the error

argv[2]
is a string with comma separated values, but to numpy it's a string not a list of floats. You first need to convert it like so:
float_vals = [float(x) for x in argv[2].split(",")]
