I have no idea how to do the sum of two floats

I'm doing a code challenge and its asking me to implement a function that returns the sum of two floats. then it talks about arguments. Help!

First you need to define the return type for the methed, which Is float.

Then name the function and add two argument, these also need to be floats. This will now look like this :

float addTwo(float a,float b){
}

You then need to tell the function what to do with the arguments you are passing it, in this example you want it to return the sum of the two arguments. This looks like this:

return a + b;

Then combining the two parts of what you have you get this:

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