Challenge Task 1 of 3

I need you to make a new function, "add". add should take two arguments, add them together, and "return" the total.

Hello Maggie Wolff,

The Challenge as shown above have asked to make a function with two arguments passed through the function, and then those two arguments should be returned through the function itself. However in your code there are some mistake you need to correct.

total = def add(num1 + num2)

We can not assign a function to variable unless we are calling it, but in the question we are asked to create one. Moving on, we can not concatenate two variables inside the parentheses of a function which is only used to pass arguments.

num1 = 427 num2 = 389

The question did not mention any sort of assignment other than the two arguments to be created with any name we want.

return total

According to the question we can not return total as it is a variable and the question didn't mention about returning a variable but they did mention to only pass the addition of the two arguments we created for the function.

Correct answer shown below:

def add(number_one, number_two):
    return number_one+number_two
