How did you do the third step - adding a TRY before floating the arguments?
def add(a, b):
try:
summ = float(a) + float(b)
except ValueError:
return None
else:
return summ

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,271 Pointsthe only issue with this code is indentation - the body of the function needs to be tabbed over once
def myFunc():
try:
body
except....:
body
else:
body

try:
summ = float(a) + float(b)
except ValueError:
return None
