I am not understanding what I am doing wrong here. I thought I added the try block where the question instructed me and correctly structured the loop. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
def add(num1, num2):
try:
return float(num1) + float(num2)
except ValueError:
return(None)
else:
return float(num1) + float(num2)

- Your indents need correcting
- There is no need for the else statement, as there is no if statement.
def add(num1, num2):
try:
return float(num1) + float(num2)
except ValueError:
return(None)
