20,382 PointsIs this for the "Try and Except" challenge in "Python Basics: Logic in Python"? If so, you only need to convert the arguments the function takes into floats. So:
def add(a, b):
total = float(a) + float(b)
You would put the try: right before you turn the arguments into floats to make sure they are really numbers. Hope this helps!
