Courses Plus Student 1,719 PointsGot stuck at this Python basics code challenge. I think my codes are right, but it says that task 1 or 2 is not right!
def add(x, y): return x + y
def add(x, y): a = float(x) b = float(y) return a + b
def add(x, y):
try:
a = float(x)
b = float(y)
except ValueError:
return None
else:
return True
def add(x, y):
return x + y
def add(x, y):
a = float(x)
b = float(y)
return a + b
def add(x, y):
try:
a = float(x)
b = float(y)
except ValueError:
return None
else:
return True

Notice that you have defined the add function three times. I think the question intends for you to modify the add function at each step rather than create a duplicate.
So, if you remove the first two add function definitions you can focus on all of the code challenge requirements in a single function definition.
Don't forget to return the two numbers added
Hope this helps you!
