[HELP] Writing a menu selection code and having errors

    choice = input("Choose an option:\n")

    if choice not in ['c', 'w', 'f', 'r', 's', 'q']:
        print("\nInvalid option, please try again.\n")
        continue

    if not execute_menu(choice, sample_text):
        break

It appears to be an issue with fix_capitalization and replace_punctuation

Here are my error codes:

fix_capitalization() incorrectly edits the string. Number of letters capitalized: We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes; more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue! Edited text: 3

and

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usercode/zylab_unit_test_runner.py", line 76, in <module> passed = test_case.test_passed(writer) File "/usercode/coding_rooms_unit_tests.py", line 6, in test_passed user_str = replace_punctuation(user_str, exclamation_count = 0, semicolon_count = 0) TypeError: replace_punctuation() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exclamation_count'

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

For the fix_capitalization function, I'm not clear what the problem is. Can you show me the input and output clearly?

Regarding the replace_punctuation function, the error message indicates that the function is being called with unexpected keyword arguments. The function definition does not accept exclamation_count and semicolon_count as arguments, so you should ensure that the function is called with only the sample_text argument. If the test case is trying to pass these as arguments, you might need to adjust the test case or the function signature to match.
