iOS Objective-C Basics (Retired) Functional Programming in C Functions

I'm stuck on this function challenge task for IOS track

Challenge task 1 of 1

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.) Bummer! The function does not appear to be returning the correct value. Is the return type a float?

Here's what I've got... functions.c

1 int addTwo(float a, float b) { 2 return a + b; 3 }

I'm a real beginner so I appreciate your patience and using helping to explain why in simple terms.

Good work! You got most of it right. However, the return type should be a float instead of the int that you have right now.

It should look like this:

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