This error typically crops up when you’re working with functions or methods in a programming language and you’ve tried to pass an argument to it that doesn’t match its parameters.

Let’s break it down:

– A “positional parameter” is a placeholder in the method or function definition for a value that you pass in when you call it. They’re called “positional” because the method or function expects them to be passed in a specific order.

– An “argument” is the actual value you try to pass into the function or method.

So, when you get an error like “a positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument”, it means that you’ve tried to call a method or function with an argument, but the method or function isn’t set up to accept a parameter at that position.

For example, let’s say you have a function defined like this:

“`
def add_two_numbers(first_number, second_number):
return first_number + second_number
“`

It’s expecting two positional parameters: `first_number` and `second_number`. If you were to call this function with three arguments, like this:

“`
result = add_two_numbers(1, 2, 3)
“`

You’d get an error somewhat like “a positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument `3`”. Because your `add_two_numbers` function is only defined to accept two arguments, not three. If you see this error in your coding, check the number and order of the values you’re passing to a function or method and make sure they match up with its defined parameters.
