I am sure I did it right but why it did not work?
def add(num1,num2):
try:
num1=float(num1)
num2=float(num2)
except ValueError:
return None
else:
return num1+num2

Treehouse TeacherIn short: indentation error. Under your try block the first two lines need to be indented. I've modified your code simply for indentation purposes. Take a look:
def add(num1,num2):
try:
num1=float(num1)
num2=float(num2)
except ValueError:
return None
else:
return num1+num2
Remember python loves its whitespace and is very picky about indentation.
