'<' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'NoneType'

This error occurs when you try to compare a float value with NoneType (which represents the absence of a value). The comparison operator '<' (less than) is not supported between these two types.

To fix this error, you should check if the value you are trying to compare is not None before doing the comparison. Here's an example:

x = 3.14
y = None

if y is not None and x < y:
    print("x is less than y")
else:
    print("x is not less than y")

In this example, we first check if y is not None using the 'is not' operator. If y is not None, then we can safely compare x and y using the '<' operator.

Alternatively, you can initialize y with a default value instead of None, so that it can be safely compared with the float value.

x = 3.14
y = 0.0

if x < y:
    print("x is less than y")
else:
    print("x is not less than y")

In this example, we initialize y with a default value of 0.0, which is a valid float value that can be compared with x using the '<' operator.
