Hello John,

You should definitely attempt to solve the problem yourself first. Then you can post your code and we can guide you on where you've gone wrong.

That said, to solve the Challenge, you could use the following code; I haven't watched the videos on the new Python Basics, so I'm not using the else block they suggested (and most likely showed in the videos). However, if you have a question about why/how this code works, let me know!

def add(num1, num2):
    try:
        return float(num1) + float(num2)
    except ValueError:
        return None
