Dealing with float numbers #75
Description
I wonder whether it has the ability to deal with float numbers. Actually I run alternative_base.py in examples folder and changed the values of a and b to float numbers and it turned to be a failure to deal with it. Did I make any mistakes or could it really not? Thank you for answering my questions!
def math_example():
print("Encoding two large positive numbers. BASE={}".format(ExampleEncodedNumber.BASE))
a = 0.5
b = 0.2
encoded_a = ExampleEncodedNumber.encode(public_key, a)
encoded_b = ExampleEncodedNumber.encode(public_key, b)
print("Checking that decoding gives the same number...")
assert a == encoded_a.decode()
assert b == encoded_b.decode()
print("Encrypting the encoded numbers")
encrypted_a = public_key.encrypt(encoded_a)
encrypted_b = public_key.encrypt(encoded_b)
print("Adding the encrypted numbers")
encrypted_c = encrypted_a + encrypted_b
print("Decrypting the one encrypted sum")
decrypted_but_encoded = \
private_key.decrypt_encoded(encrypted_c, ExampleEncodedNumber)
print("Checking the decrypted number is what we started with")
print("Decrypted: {}".format(decrypted_but_encoded.decode()))Generating paillier keypair
