Converting coordinates to another form, bug fix

Question

I am converting coordinates to another format, but there was an error

longitude = (lon - 4294967295) / 6356752.3142 * (180/math.pi)
unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'list' and 'int'

I will be grateful for advice

Answer 1

You can't perform a mathematical operation like subtraction on a list AKA an iterable type and an integer. You're trying to do:

[0,1,2,3,..,n] - 4294967295

What you might have meant is:

(lon[i] - 4294967295)

Where i is the index number for whichever value of the list you wanted.

Answer 2

Try just converting your lon from a list (which doesn't support arithmetic operations like +, -, etc.) to a numpy array (which does support arithmetic operations):

lon = np.array(lon)
longitude = (lon - 4294967295) / 6356752.3142 * (180/math.pi)
