need help with functions

'''C float add_Two (float a,float b) { float a = 22; float b = 45; printf("%f is the total floating",add_Two(a,b)); return 0; } { float add_Two (float a,float b) return a + b; } '''

Says i need to "Implement a function named "addTwo" that returns the sum of two floats. The function will accept two float numbers as arguments and return a float which is the sum of the two arguments passed to the function."

Treehouse's validation engine requires your function names and variable names to be exact. Name your function addTwo instead of add_Two.

You can't declare variables a and b inside of your function. You're already passing them in as arguments. You're also not returning the sum. You're returning 0 from the function. Make sure you return the sum of the two numbers.

You should also take the printf statement out. Sometimes having extra code can make the validation fail, even if it should succeed.
