Whats wrong with this code?

Hello everyone,

I just started with this course. I am getting this error, I feel everything is perfectly fine with my code.

Here's it :

Challenge task 1 of 1

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.)

float addTwo(float a,float b);

{
return (a+b);
}

Bummer! Make sure you've defined the return type and both paramter types as 'float' and that you are returning the sum of the arguments as a result.

The problem is that you're putting a semicolon at the end of your function declaration. You should only put brackets. This should work:

float addTwo(float a,float b){
return (a+b);
}

Also, you don't need parentheses around the a+b or anything in the return statement, but it shouldn't affect the functionality of your program at all
