Function quiz

In the video where he talks about functions, he never uses a float. He uses int. It tells you not to enter in code for main, but the functions is initialized above main and then the code for the function is written outside of main and then added back into main. What I am supposed to do with this?

Hi Bradley,

I think you're referring to the funky_math function 2 videos back?

The statement above main was the function declaration. What was written below the main function was the function definition or the function implementation. What you were referring to as the code for the function. Then inside the main function the funky_math function was called and 2 int arguments were passed in.

So you have the function declaration above main, the function implementation below main, and you call the function inside main.

The challenge only wants the implementation of the function, none of the other stuff. This is the part that you see below the main function.

Instead of using the int data type you will use the float data type instead.

Let me know if you're still stuck.

This is what I have so far.

int addTwo(float a, float b){

float a = 224.54; float b = 32.44;

int sum = addTwo(a + b);

return sum; }

I'm not really sure what i'm doing wrong here.

You're doing too much inside the function.

You don't want to call the function inside the function. You only need to return the sum of the 2 arguments passed in.

Also, the return type should be a float as well.

float addTwo (float a, float b) {
  return a + b;
}
