Can you please help me find the error?

First part of this challenge task was right but in this second task I'm not sure what's wrong? Can you please help me point out my mistake?

script.js 
function max(a,b){
    if (a>b){
        alert("a is bigger");
        return a;
    } else {
        alert("b is bigger");
        return b;
    }
}

window.alert(max(20,10));

Hey there,

You've pretty much got it, except the challenge did not ask for alerts inside of the if/else clause. Delete the one in the if and the one in the else and it will pass. Challenges are very picky and very strict. If you add more than was asked or not put exactly what was asked for, you will usually receive the Bummer!

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
