Let me know if you're still having problems.

1,996 PointsCan you check the challenge? I made something like this but I still get an error, I only have to do the implementation part. Thanks for your help!
float addTwo (float a, float b){
float result = 0;
result = a + b;
return = result;
}

38,156 PointsOk so I see the problem. You put an equals sign between return and result. That's why the compiler kept complaining that something was wrong.
Return is a special keyword that lets the compiler know that anything that follows it will be returned by the function. In order to return the result you would just take out the equals operator. You don't want to assign anything to return.
float addTwo (float a, float b){
float result = 0;
result = a + b;
return result;
}
That's it! Let me know if that all made sense to you.

1,996 Pointsohh I see, hahaha I spend like 4 hours looking for similar codes to see what was wrong and I didn't notice that! Now I know it.
Thanks a lot!
