Code Challenge

Kindly guide me to create a max () function: I need help to make a conditional statement to compare two numbers in terms of which one is bigger?

script.js 
function max ( six , four) {
  if ( six > four ){ 
    (six === 6);
  (four === 4);};
  return max;}
max(6,4);

Hi. Here's what I did.

function max(first, second) {
  if (first > second) {
    return first;
  } else 
    return second;
}

Hope this Helps.

Calvin,

Try this...Hope it helps

var max = function(one, two) { if (one > two) { return one; } else { return two; //you only have two variable to compare, so an if/else is all you need } }
