TypeError: got multiple values for argument

🐢 Technical Turtle Troubles! 🐢

Have you ever encountered a TypeError that stumped you? Well, today we're tackling the elusive TypeError: got multiple values for argument error. 🐢🚫

💡 What's Going On?

In our case, this error occurs when calling the Horizontol_drawbox() function. The error message specifically highlights the argument 'fillBox', indicating that there's a problem with how we're passing values to this argument.

🐌 Snail's Pace! Identifying the Issue

👉 Take a good look at the code snippet:

Horizontol_drawbox(BOX_LENGTH, fillBox = True)

The function Horizontol_drawbox() is called with two arguments: BOX_LENGTH and fillBox = True. The issue arises because we unintentionally passed two values for the same argument.

🚀 Solving the Problem

To fix this error, we have two options:

Option 1️⃣: Remove the Duplicate Argument

If the Horizontol_drawbox() function expects only one fillBox argument, we need to remove the duplicate. In our case, fillBox is already specified in the function definition, so we don't need to pass it again.

We can modify the code like this:

Horizontol_drawbox(BOX_LENGTH)

Option 2️⃣: Check the Function Definition

Alternatively, if Horizontol_drawbox() is indeed meant to receive multiple values for the fillBox argument, we need to update the function's definition accordingly.

A correct function definition might look like this:

def Horizontol_drawbox(length, fillBox=False):
    # Function logic goes here

With this modification, we can pass multiple values for fillBox when calling the function, without triggering the TypeError.

⚡️ Take Action!

Now that you know how to tackle this TypeError beast, it's time to take action! Review your code and see if you have any duplicate arguments lurking around. If you do, use one of the solutions we discussed above to squash that bug! 🐛💪
