Answer 1

The error in the program is that **the sum function can only take two arguments**. The function `sum(num1, num2)` is defined to take only two parameters, but the `print(sum(4, 5.5, 6))` statement is providing three arguments: 4, 5.5, and 6. This will result in a `TypeError`.

To fix the issue, you need to adjust the call to the `sum` function so that it only passes two arguments. For example:

```python
print(sum(4, 5.5))
```

This will work correctly.
