This reads five values, but assigns five separate names to them. You
will want to review your course notes on Python to find out what a
'list' is.

The error message is telling you that you have "called" an integer
('int') object. Integer objects don't support being called like
functions.
The syntax for "calling" an object is:
foo(something, something_else)
Look at the line of code reported in the error, and you'll find an
integer object being called in that fashion. You'll need to rewrite it
so it does what you're actually trying to do.
Again, please make sure you work on these problems yourself; your
assessment should not be testing your ability to ask on the internet
for assistance.
