Whats wrong with this code ?

def add(x,y): try: x=float(x) y=float(y) except ValueError: return None else: return (float(x)+float(y))

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

The last return statement is not indented (spaced) right. If you move it in one level like this:

def add(x,y):
    try:
        x=float(x)
        y=float(y)
    except ValueError:
        return None 
    else:
        return (float(x)+float(y))

Then your code will pass.
