Courses Plus Student 2,199 PointsWhat would be the correct way of writing this
float(num1) float(num2)
?
Stuart McIntosh
Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 22,874 Pointshi there, you could do the following
def add(num1, num2):
float(num1)
float(num2)
return(num1 + num2)
add(5,6)
or to use less lines
def add(num1, num2):
return(float(num1) + float(num2))
add(5,6)

Task 3 just won't run looking for some help!
def add(x,y):
try:
a = float(x)
b = float(y)
except ValueError
return None
else
return(a+b)
