ValueError: either both or neither of x and y should be given

This error occurs when using a function or method that requires both
x and y parameters to be provided, but either
one of them is missing or both are provided. To resolve this error, you
need to ensure that you either provide values for both x
and y or remove both of them if they are not required.

Example 1:

    
      def calculate_average(x, y):
          return (x + y) / 2
      
      result = calculate_average(5)  # Only one argument provided
      print(result)
    
  

In this example, the calculate_average function expects
both x and y parameters to be provided. However,
when calling the function, only one argument (5) is given.
This will result in a ValueError because both or neither
of x and y should be given. To fix this, you
need to provide values for both x and y while
calling the function.

Example 2:

    
      def print_coordinates(x=None, y=None):
          if x is not None and y is not None:
              print(f"Coordinates: {x}, {y}")
          else:
              raise ValueError("Both x and y should be given.")
      
      print_coordinates(3, y=4)  # Both x and y values are provided
    
  

In this example, the print_coordinates function allows
both x and y parameters to be optional. If
both values are given, it will print the coordinates. Otherwise, it
will raise a ValueError stating that both x
and y should be given. In the function call, both
x=3 and y=4 are provided, so it will correctly
print the coordinates as 3, 4.

This HTML content would display the error message and provide detailed explanations with two examples. The first example demonstrates an incorrect usage of a function where only one argument is provided instead of the required two. The second example shows a function that allows optional parameters and raises a ValueError if both parameters are not given.
