TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

I am trying to use values from an array in the following equation:

for x in range(len(prof)):
    PB = 2.25 * (1 - math.pow(math.e, (-3.7(prof[x])/2.25))) * (math.e, (0/2.25)))

When I run I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/cwpapine/Desktop/1mPro_Chlavg", line 240, in <module>
    PB = float(2.25 * (1 - math.pow(math.e, (-3.7(prof[x])/2.25))) * (math.e, (0/2.25)))
TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

this is probably something simple but I can't quite figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

While this may not be an answer to this question in particular, another reason you could get this error is if you have defined "range" as a variable.

range = 0
for x in range(len(array)): 
#will give an error, because it's trying to multiply "range" with "(len(array))"

The solution would be to rename your variable to a synonym (period) or append something to it (range1, range_a)

The question has been answered but for others, the reason for the same error might be highly possible due to the following reason: Sometimes, when you use a variable name same as one of the inbuilt functions and when you try to call that inbuilt function later on, its gonna give you a type error. For example, somewhere in your code you define a variable as:

sum = 0

Maybe to use it as an accumulator variable in global dataframe. Now, later when you're defining a function in which you want to call the inbuilt function sum() , its gonna give an type error as you have over-written an in-built function name. That's why, you should avoid the use in-built function names like str, range, sum, etc.. as one of the variable names in your code.
