[Tutor] positional argument error

[shubham sinha]

hello,
I am new to python and as a doing excercise I got an error that is
mentioned below:
please help me through that.

q. create a "word cloud" from a text by writing a script. This script needs
to process the text, remove punctuation, ignore case and words that do not
contain all alphabets, count the frequencies, and ignore uninteresting or
irrelevant words. A dictionary is the output of the calculate_frequencies
function.

my code:

def calculate_frequencies(file_contents):
    # Here is a list of punctuations and uninteresting words you can use to
process your text
    punctuations = '''!()-[]{};:'"\,<>./?@#$%^&*_~'''
    uninteresting_words = ["the", "a", "to", "if", "is", "it", "of", "and",
"or", "an", "as", "i", "me", "my", \
    "we", "our", "ours", "you", "your", "yours", "he", "she", "him", "his",
"her", "hers", "its", "they", "them", \
    "their", "what", "which", "who", "whom", "this", "that", "am", "are",
"was", "were", "be", "been", "being", \
    "have", "has", "had", "do", "does", "did", "but", "at", "by", "with",
"from", "here", "when", "where", "how", \
    "all", "any", "both", "each", "few", "more", "some", "such", "no",
"nor", "too", "very", "can", "will", "just"]

    # LEARNER CODE START HERE
    result = {}
    contents_split = file_contents.split()
    def generate_from_frequencies(file_contents):
        for word in contents_split:
            if word in uninteresting_words:
                pass
            else:
                for letter in word:
                    if letter in puctuations:
                        letter.replace(punctuations, "")
                if word not in result.keys():
                    result[word] = 0
                else:
                    result[word] +=1


    #wordcloud
    cloud = wordcloud.WordCloud()
    cloud.generate_from_frequencies()
    return cloud.to_array()

    #wordcloud
    cloud = wordcloud.WordCloud()
    cloud.generate_from_frequencies()
    return cloud.to_array()



# Display your wordcloud image

myimage = calculate_frequencies(file_contents)
plt.imshow(myimage, interpolation = 'nearest')
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()



After executing i am getting an error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------TypeError

Thanks in advance, :)
