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.)
here is a shell of what your function should look like:
returnType functionName(datatype argumentOne, datatype argumentTwo) {
return something;
}
the challenge tells you what the return type and function name should be. it also tells you the datatype of the arguments, which you can name whatever you want. it says it needs to return the sum of the arguments passed in to the function
