Returning as Float

Task: Let's make sure we're always working with floats. Convert your arguments to floats before you add them together. You can do this with the float() function.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. My issue is I'm not 100% where to place the float func

Thanks!

trial.py 
def add(one, two):
   return(one + two)
    return.float()

This is how I tackled this challenge: python def add(a, b): try: return float(a) + float(b) except: return None The code is pretty self explanatory.
