I wrote my code, but it says that the argument has a type 'int (*)( )' obviously its wrong but I dont get it

the code is:

int addTwo () { float foo = 10; float bah = 5; printf("add two %d", addTwo);

return foo + bah;

}

currently your function takes no arguments, you need to fix that. its returning the wrong data type (needs to return float). you shouldnt have to create any variables inside the function or print anything out.

here is a shell of what your function should look like:

returnType functionName(dataType argumentOne, dataType argumentTwo) {

return something;

}

the challenge tells you what the return type should be (float, not int), the function name, and the datatypes of the arguments (also floats). you can call the arguments (actually they are known as parameters in this case) whatever you want, just be consistent when referencing them. it says to return the sum of the arguments passed in to the function
