Python TypeError: int() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

Question

I am trying to write a simple hangman game in python but is getting this error. Not sure where the error is coming from. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

     12         word=getpass.getpass("please enter a secret word")

TypeError: int() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

Answer 1

You have a global int variable named seconds that you are attempting to derive your classes from. I suspect you intended them to be functions, which requires def not class , eg:

def engine(seconds):

However, you also have multiple classes/functions named the same thing so you will also need to resolve that.

Answer 2

You don't need to use classes for that. Instead, use def keyword and define the function with the seconds parameter. You are trying to derive a class from an integer.

Also, you have 2 engine "classes". The second definition will overwrite the first one. So you will have to change that.

def engine(seconds)
