Hi!

The N in None should be capitalized.

return (None)

Hmm. I don't know. I used your exact code and it says passing for me.

def add(num1, num2):
    try:
        result = float(num1)
        result2 = float(num2)
    except ValueError:
        return(None)
    else:
        return(result + result2)
