You're close! In your alert, pass in some real numbers to make the function work.

function max (num1, num2) {
  if (num1 > num2) {
    return num1;
  }
  return num2
};

alert (max(2,3));

Thank you so much Sir Ion Jones. How about this?

Given this function, write the code to call it: function warning() { alert('Warning, warning, warning!'); } ;

To call that function:

warning();

That's it.

Hi Agnes! You need to pass a name into your greeting function.

Like so:

function greeting(name) {
    var message = "Hello " + name;
};

greeting("Agnes");

Also, don't forget the semi-colon at the end of your function call.
