I\'m stuck here. For n = 5 and k = 3, the answer should be 19. If I set k = 3 separately as a local or global variable and ru

    Calling the function with wabbits(5) will not work because the function is declared to accept 2 parameters: n and k. Both must be supplied.

    You can call the function with two arguments, but the trouble is that the recursive call to wabbits() passes only a single argument:

    wabbits(n-2) * k + wabbits(n-1)
    

    This is two calls to wabbits() the first has one argument n-2 and the second also has only one argument n-1. Since wabbits() must be called with two arguments a TypeError` exception is raised as you observed.

    Your wabbits() function takes two arguments:

    def wabbits(n, k):
    #           1  2
    

    but your code calls it with just one:

    return wabbits(n-2)*k + wabbits(n-1)
    #              ^^^              ^^^^
    

    You need to pass in a value for k as well. You could just pass in the current value of k:

    def wabbits(n, k):
        if n == 1:
            return 1
        if n == 2:
            return 1
        return wabbits(n-2, k)*k + wabbits(n-1, k)
        #              1    2              1    2
    

    and indeed that produces 19:

    >>> def wabbits(n, k):
    ...     if n == 1:
    ...         return 1
    ...     if n == 2:
    ...         return 1
    ...     return wabbits(n-2, k)*k + wabbits(n-1, k)
    ...
    >>> wabbits(5, 3)
    19

    Several solutions, the simplest is:

    def wabbits(n, k):
        if n == 1:
            return 1
        elif n == 2:
            return 1
        return wabbits(n-2, k)*k + wabbits(n-1, k)
    
    r = wabbits(5, 3)
    

    However you could encapsulate k using an inner function:

    def wabbits(n, k):
    
        def bunnies(rn):
            if rn == 1:
                return 1
            elif rn == 2:
                return 1
            return bunnies(rn-2)*k + bunnies(rn-1)
    
        return bunnies(n)
    
    r = wabbits(5, 3)
