calculateTax() requires an argument
3 answers
The error occurs because the function calculateTax() requires an argument, specifically a subtotal value, but it is being called without any arguments. Here's the relevant portion of the code:
calculateTax()
The correct way to call this function would be to provide a value for the subtotal, like so:
calculateTax(100) # Example value for subtotal
Therefore, the correct response is:
calculateTax() requires an argument.
Yes, the calculateTax() function requires an argument because it is defined to take one parameter named subtotal. When you define a function in Python, any parameters specified in the parentheses must be provided when you call the function.
In this case, since subtotal is expected to be passed as an argument, calling calculateTax() without any arguments will result in a TypeError, indicating that the function is missing a required positional argument.
