cant seem to figure out why im not able to complete this code challenge. here is what it wants me to do and what i put....
Write a function named "addTwo" that accepts two float numbers as arguments. The function should also return a float which is the sum of the two arguments passed to the function.
int addTwo (float a, float b);
int main ()
{
float ha = 3.2;
float ja = 5.5;
printf ("ha ja %f/n", addTwo(ha, ja));
return 0;
}
int addTwo (float a, float b){
return a + b;
}
it keeps telling me....
Make sure you've defined the return type and both paramter types as 'float' and that you are returning the result.

Courses Plus Student 14,658 PointsCheck your function's return type. In the code you posted, it's not returning a float.

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

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe code challenge simply needs to see the implementation of the function. You need not write the main function because it is not asking you to print out the values. Your answer is what Michael Reining wrote.
