                       Need help, 
  I tried to calucate column values using Python function, as decribed below. But I got an error message like, '<' not supported between instances of 'list' and 'int', I could solve this with my Juypter notebook, but no idea how to do debugging. 
 
  At Set Colume values "Col(E)" = 'py.J(5, 270/col('Temp'), 
  "Python Function" import numpy as np from scipy.integrate import quad
  def J(n, y):     integrand = lambda x: (x**n) / ((np.exp(x) - 1)*(1 - np.exp(-x)))     result, _ = quad (integrand, 0, y)     return result
 
  Error as below >> Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Users\zsung\AppData\Local\OriginLab\101\TMP\pyTmp\_SCV.py", line 7, in J     result, _ = quad (integrand, 0, y)                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   File "C:\ProgramData\OriginLab\PyPackage\Py311\64bit\scipy\integrate\_quadpack_py.py", line 433, in quad     flip, a, b = b < a, min(a, b), max(a, b)                  ^^^^^ TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'list' and 'int'

                       Hello,
  This doesn't appear to be an Origin-specific issue. I’d recommend checking out the Quad documentation,: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.integrate.quad.html
  b is expected to be a float but in your code: quad (integrand, 0, y)
  You are passing Col("Temp") in y which is a list. Note: In Origin, you need double quotes if referring to the long name. I.e. col("Temp") not col('Temp').
  You can try something like ChatGPT as a starting point for debugging if you don't know how to.

  Hello, Chao, thank you for the comments, 
  Col("Temp"), the double quotes come from column selection, provided by origin column selection. So it is the defult.  I set the upper limit of the integration with 270 devided with each value of the column (Col("Temp").
  So I do not understand why origin recognize this is list rather than interger.
