Here's the question:
Let's make sure we're always working with floats. Convert your arguments to floats before you add them together. You can do this with the float() function.
What am I doing wrong here?
def add(age, weight):
return int(float(age + weight))

What you are doing now is that you are adding the two arguments together and then convert them to a float. Btw, do you need to make them sum to an int?
For example you can try
def add(age, weight):
return float(age) + float(weight)
