Its the indentation that is the problem and giving you errors after the try block, It should be like this and the error you probably want to catch is ValueError not Valueshare

def add(num1, num2):
    try:
        fl_num1 = float(num1)
        fl_num2 = float(num2)
    except ValueError:
        return None
    else:
        return fl_num1 + fl_num2
