mplement 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.)

the arguments need to be floats, not ints:

float addTwo (float x, float y) { return x + y; }

you're adding two integers x & y which will result in a type of integer. It mentions returning the sum of two 'floats'
