Python Error => 'Float' object is not iterable

Question

#Grdient acent
from sympy import Derivative, Symbol, sympify, solve
from sympy.core.sympify import SympifyError
def grad_ascent(x0, flx, x):

    if not solve(flx):
        print('Cannot continue, solution for {0}=0 does not exist'.format(flx))
        return
    epsilon= 1e-6
    step_size= 1e-4
    x_old= x0
    x_new= x_old+step_size*flx.subs({x: x_old}).evalf()
    while abs(x_old-x_new)>epsilon:
        x_old= x_new
        x_new= x_old+step_size*flx.subs({x_old}).evalf()
    return x_new

if __name__=='__main__':

    f=input('Enter a function in one variable: ')
    var=input('Enter the variable to differenriate with respect to: ')
    var0=float(input('Enter the initial value of the variable: '))
    try:
        f=sympify(f)
    except SympifyError:
        print("Invalid function entered ")
    else:
        var=Symbol(var)
        d=Derivative(f, var).doit()
        var_max=grad_ascent(var0, d, var)
        if var_max:
            print('{0}:{1}'.format(var.name, var_max))
            print('Maximum value: {0}'.format(f.subs({var:var_max})))

I don't know why don't run? If i run, only show up the message " 'Float' object is not iterable. where i mistake? Please teach me the mistake

Include the full error traceback.

Problem is flx.subs({x_old}) - it should be {x: x_old} or something similar.
