Thx

In fact, you don't need the else statement in this case, either, although that'll work just fine anyway. You'll either return None or the sum of the input values.

468 PointsThank you Gavin
In addition to your answer the other issue was the indentation in the try block. I did not have the whole try block indented.

28,770 PointsAh yeah, I saw the indentation but thought maybe that was a cut-and-paste problem. Good to see you caught that :)
