Can you clarify which part you are having trouble with? You need to define a function which takes two parameters (of type float) and returns the sum of those parameters (also a float). The basic syntax for defining a function is as follows:
(return_type)functionName(type parameter_one, type parameter_two)
{
//add the two numbers together and return the result
}

float addTwo(float a, float b){
return a+b;
}
