Exercise about functions and exceptions

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks

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

Everything within the function definition block needs to be indented. if they are on the same indent as the "def" then they are outside the scope of that block of code. Try it out and leave me a best answer if that works for you :-)
