"name error" for name of function that I have been using with no problems in try and except challenges

python basics exceptions challenge #3 Used this function in previous 2 challenges but when I added the "try, except, else" parts I get this name error....."not defined" Don't know what's wrong and can't continue until I fix this. .

trial.py 
def add(x,y):
    try:
        x = float(x)   
        y = float(y)
    except ValueError:
        return none
    else:
        return x + y

Hey CL6,

You had everything complete, but you didn't capitalize "None". Once you do, it'll let you pass.

Good luck with the course!
