You're doing great! Just one more task but it's a bigger one. Right now, we turn everything into a float. That's great

i am not progressing with this onne

trial.py 
def add(num1, num2):
try:
    return (float(num1) + float(num2))
except ValueError: 
    return = None
else:   
    return (float(num1) + float(num2))

This should work:

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

Hope that works!

Thanks! :)

Restart the whole task. Then paste the code into task 1.
