int a = 36;
int b = 37;
printf("add Two %d\n", addTwo(a, b));
return 0; } int addTwo(int a, int b); { return a + b; }'''

You only need to make the function, you don't need to call it, and you don't need to define your own a and b. The purpose of a function is to be able to call it for any possible parameters it accepts, not just the predefined ones.
This is what that would look like:
float addTwo(float a, float b) {
return a + b;
}
