typeerror print_slow() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given-CodePudding

so im fiddling around in pytbon cuz im bored and i realise i try to slow print a input i have earlier in the code i bave defined slow print ive imported every thing i need but when i run it it saw its got 1 positional argument buts been give 2 and im not that good at coding and am only a young student so coupd anyone be a huge help and explain it in basic terms

import sys
import os
import time

def print_slow(str):
    for letter in str:
        sys.stdout.write(letter)
        sys.stdout.flush()
        time.sleep(0.1)

num1 = int(input("Chose any number: "))

print_slow("Did you say",num1)

so my issue is that i cant seem to get it to slow print i expected this to work like it always does but i've never slow printed an input before

CodePudding user response：

You are implicitly checking that the input value is of type int by converting the input string. If you insist on doing that then you might find this easier:

from time import sleep

def print_slow(*args):
    for arg in args:
        for c in str(arg):
            print(c, flush=True, end='')
            sleep(0.1)
    print()

v = int(input('Choose any number: '))

print_slow('Did you say ', v, '?')

Replace print_slow("Did you say", num1) by print_slow(f"Did you say {num1}") and you should be good to go. This is (in my opinion) a slightly simpler solution than Cobra's. Here we are using Formatted strings(example) which you will encounter often going forward and that you should take a couple of minutes to understand.
Also, as mentioned in the comments of your post, DO NOT NAME A VARIABLE str (or more generally, do not name a variable with a type name) for it will mess things up later.
