231,248 PointsAre you assigning or returning?
This line seems to be trying to do both:
count = return float(name)+float(number)
I'm not sure if you intended to assign count here, or if you intended to return, but you need to pick one or the other. What's really interesting is that either choice will pass the challenge.
