Dont understand why this wont work for the practice problem

Implement a function named "addTwo" that returns the sum of two floats. The function will accept two float numbers as arguments and return a float which is the sum of the two arguments passed to the function. (No need to write the main function just write out the implmentation for the addTwo function)

float addTwo(float a, float b); int main() { float alpha = 3.4; float beta = 4.5;

return addTwo(alpha, beta);

}

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

I'm assuming they don't want you to write out the main function as you have in your example. just write out the implementation like it says.

Yes, I did! I also learned from Codecademy and Code School. I had intense C/C++ courses in college too, which is beneficial for what I do (I'm an electrical engineer).

Keep at it!

Going through the iOS track on here. Did you feel it was sufficient? I just finished the C basics

Yes, the iOS track on Treehouse is one of the bests. I would also recommend Codeschool's iOS track as they have quite a few goodies as well.
