Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,854 PointsLOST!! HELP!!
I am lost as to how I use the float function in this challenge. Ive seen this code written & executed with the "int" variable (in the video "Functions"). I am totally lost on the concept of the mechanics & architecture of this code.

You begin by assuming that the function has already been implemented. So you write float (the type of value that the function will return) and then you write the name of that function, which in this case is addTwo. Right after writing the name of the previously created function, you insert the arguments that the function will take (float a, float b). Finally, between the curly braces, you do something with those variables (in this case, you add them).
float addTwo(float a, float b) {
return a + b;
}
Feel free to say so if you have any doubts :)

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,854 PointsSure... Sorry: "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.)"
