Your problem is probably that you try to call your function with four
positional arguments, although the last two should have been named. Compare
julia> f(x, y; z=0) = x + y + z
f (generic function with 1 method)
julia> f(2, 3)
5
julia> f(2, 3, 4)
ERROR: MethodError: `f` has no method matching f(::Int64, ::Int64, ::Int64)
Closest candidates are:
f(::Any, ::Any)
julia> f(2, 3, z = 4)
