Hello Julie, it appears that add will only accept an argument, not an integer.

Therefore, add two arguments like so:
def add(arg1, arg2): return arg1 + argv2

I need you to make a new function, add. add should take two arguments, add them together, and return the total.

thats the challenge...sorry i forgot to add on my post!

Hey Julie,

The output that I'm typing is not being displayed as I would like it to be. Even using the markdown cheatsheet emphasis. Basically, type that info in the same format you typed your above question, but instead of having the number 3 as an argument, type out two arguments. arg1 and arg2 are examples, but you can use anything. However, I was able to pass the quiz with that example.
