Implement a function named "addTwo" that returns the sum of two floats. The function will accept two float numbers as arguments. It should add the two arguments together, and return the result. (No need to write the main function. Just write out the implementation for the addTwo function.)

returnType functionName(dataType parameterOne, dataType parameterTwo) {
return something;
}
the challenge tells you it needs to be named add two, it needs to take two arguments (these are your parameters). these arguments need to be of the type float. then you need to return the sum of the parameters. since you are returning the sum of 2 floats your return type needs to be a float.
note that I called the variables inside the parenthesis parameters. When implementing a function, the variables you put inside the ( ) are known as parameters. When calling a function, they are arguments.

8,628 PointsThank you! I saw your reply to this same question for another person in the forum. I tried it again, and was still getting it incorrect. It turns out I was just adding a semi-colon where I didn't need one.
