Help with last question for Python Basic course

I have the following code which I am keep getting "Opps try again". I have looked at the community portal and I believe my code is correct. Can you please help and see what is it that I am missing in this : def add (exe1, exe2): try: a = float (exe1) b = float (exe2) total = (a + b)

except ValueError:
    return None
else:
    return total

I've tried the same thing! Getting the error

def add(num1,num2): try: float(num1) float(num2) except ValueError: return None else: return (float(num1)+float(num2))

I have just executed this code in Pycharm and it worked def add (exe1, exe2): try: a = float (exe1) b = float (exe2) total = (a + b)

except ValueError:
    return None
else:
    print (total)

add (2,3)

Not sure why it doesn't work in the questions for Python Basic and as this is the last activity in this course, I can't move forward... frustrating !
