int addTwo(float a, float b); int main() { float first = 24; float second = 35;
printf("sum %d\n", addTwo(first, second));
return 0;
}
int addTwo(float a, float b) {
return a + b;
}
my code works but the checker does not like it so I am not sure what it is looking for

}
//not need for the challenge
printf("sum %f\n", addTwo(10.0, 10.0);
and don't write the "main" function for the challenge just the "addTwo" function

15,508 PointsYou fell in to the same mistake I did. It's quite a silly one when you look back at it. You set your arguments up correctly defining them as both floats. What you've forgotten to do (like I did) is that you've defined the function as an integer instead of a float. So whilst the arguments being taken in are floats, it's never going to return anything as a float because the function itself is an integer. This needs to be changed to a float. So, the correct code would be:
float addTwonot:
int addTwoI hope this makes sense!
