I’m trying to write the model() function for exercise 4. I’m encountering this error. But i cannot understand why this seems to be happening. Here is the error: ```auto --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 parameters, last_name = model(data.split("\n"), ix_to_char, char_to_ix, 22001, verbose = True) 2 3 assert last_name == 'Trodonosaurus\n', "Wrong expected output" 4 print("\033[92mAll tests passed!") in model(data_x, ix_to_char, char_to_ix, num_iterations, n_a, dino_names, vocab_size, verbose) 86 87 # Sample indices and print them ---> 88 sampled_indices = sample(parameters, char_to_ix, seed) 89 last_dino_name = get_sample(sampled_indices, ix_to_char) 90 print(last_dino_name.replace('\n', '')) TypeError: sample() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 3 were given ``` Though the sample function i created before does accept 3 positional arguments. The head of the sample() is: ```python def sample(parameters, char_to_ix, seed): ``` The test of sample function does gets passed. Still im encountering such error. I’m sorry i can’t post the code of the sample function. ---

Hi @karnikkanojia , please be mindful about posting your queries in the right category. You are posting your query in the [General Discussions](https://community.deeplearning.ai/c/random-discussions/23) category. This category is not monitored by our mentors. Your specific query belongs to, I’m guessing, [DLS Course 5](https://community.deeplearning.ai/c/deep-learning-specialization/dls-course-5/16). If you are unclear about how to use Discourse, we have made this [guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xrWj9plgme08hcxj5L5tEhOuQCa4W8_eN3E1kSb2pW0/edit) for our learners. Hopefully reading it will help you out in posting in the appropriate categories next time. For now, I have moved your post in the DLS Course 5 category. For future, in order to get swift responses, post in the appropriate categories. Thank you and happy learning! Mubsi ---

Regarding your error message. In the model() function, perhaps the values in the ‘parameters’ or ‘char\_to\_ix’ variables are incorrect. Did your code modify either of these variables?
