Is there a error in the code ?

Question

def add(n,m):
    return n+m
try:
    f= int(input())
    g=int(input())
except ValueError:
    print("This is not we wanted")
else:
    h=add(f,g)

```trial.py

Hi there!  I suspect that you've worked on this a lot.  Because your code here does not follow the requirements of the challenge.  The code is going to be sent its values from another piece of code.  In this case, it will be Treehouse sending in the values.  The code it wants will never print out anything.  It will only ever return values.  And the return of the addition should happen inside the try.  Take a look:
```python
def add(x,y):
    try:
        return float(x) + float(y)
    except ValueError:
        return None
```
Here we define the function add.  It accepts two values:  x and y.  We start a try block.  And the first thing we're going to do is check and see if what was sent in can actually be converted to floats.  If both of them can be converted to floats we return the sum of the two numbers.  Otherwise, if it has a ValueError we return None per the challenge instructions.
Hope this helps! :sparkles:
