Call the function and display results of function in an alert.

For part one of the challenge you want to create the function and give it two parameters. I've called my two parameters num1 and num2.

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

For the second part in this challenge al we want to do is call the function and put the result into an alert() dialogue.

We could do this in two ways.

1. By creating a variable called result and assigning it the return value of the max() function. And then passing this result variable into the alert() function. This will open an alert box with the message 12.

var result = max( 12, 5 );
alert( result );

1. The easier way to do this is to pass the max() function directly into the alert() function, like so.

alert( max( 12, 5 ) );

Hope this helps.

Nothing is wrong with your code, per se. However, the Challenge wants you to pass acutal Numbers, as opposed to variables.

thank you for your help
