java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
Error message
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
What broke
This error occurs when a method is called with an argument that does not match the expected type. For example, if a method expects an integer but receives a string, this exception will be thrown.
Why it broke
It broke because Java is a statically typed language, meaning that types are checked at compile time. If the types do not match, the runtime will throw an IllegalArgumentException to indicate that the provided argument is not suitable for the method being called.
How to fix
To fix this issue, check the method signature to determine the expected argument types. Ensure that the arguments you are passing match those types exactly, and if necessary, convert or cast the arguments to the appropriate type.
