Are you using the Coursera Labs environment, or are you using some other platform?

Perhaps your compute_cost() function is not returning a floating point scalar value.

Hi, I am getting the same error. How do I change that? Can I show you my code by private message to see where the bug is?

hi,
you can check the hint which is there and then try to fix your code. And yes, if you want feel free to share your code.
