Convert int to float

I don't get what's wrong with this code. Please help me if you know how to handle it

trial.py 
def add(val1,val2):
    try:
        val1 = float(val1)
        val2 = float(val2)
        return val1 + val2
    except ValueEroor:
        return None
    else:
        return val1 + val2

It's just a typo. You have "ValueEroor" instead of "ValueError".

Also, while it doesn't hurt, you don't really need the "else" since both the "try" and "except" have their own return.
