Hi Tim,
Thanks so much for your answer, indeed this was the issue here. Specifying
the function the way you said indeed gets rid of the error (and raises a
new one, namely
`isless` has no method matching isless(::Array{Float64,1}, ::Array{Float64,1}),
I'll try to figure this one out later...).
Can I bother you with one related but general question: How do I interpret the
first curly brackets in the function definition? The function definition says
optimize{T<:Real}(f::Function,
lower::T<:Real,upper::T<:Real), where I understand the f::Function,
lower::T<:Real, upper::T<:Real give the expected inputs and their
respective types, but what exactly does the {T<:Real} tell me?
You can tell I'm coming from Matlab and even though I've been doing data
analysis in Python for a while, object oriented programming still doesn't
come naturally to me...
Best,
Nils
