T

its showing in terminal output of python programming as I take point as a class.  
File “e:\python\debasish.py”, line 10, in   
point = Point(1, 2)  
TypeError: Point() takes no arguments.

So what is typeError.

I assume you have a class defined as `class Point:` somewhere and now you are instantiating it through the `point = Point(1,2)` call. For the call to work you would need at least the following implemented as constructor:

```auto
class Point:

    def __init__ (self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

```

Without this, you will not be able to pass parameters to the constructor.
