Having a hard time figuring out functions, especially when it comes to multiple arguments and figuring out how and what to return...
function max( number1 , number2 ) {
return max;
}

11,368 PointsHi Bradley! In this particularly case you are asked to build a function called max that accepts two arguments(that would be numbers), you've done that already! Good job! Now the function should return the larger number between the two..you are hinted to use conditional statements, are you familiar with those? In this case you could use an If statement to check if the first argument is larger than the second argument and if it is, return that first argument or else return the second argument. See if you could come to a solution with this hint! If you can't let me know!
Hope you find this answer helpful!
Cheers and Keep Coding!

687 PointsI was looking at doing something like this...
function max( number1 , number2 ) {
var higherNumber = Math.max( number1 , number2);
return higherNumber;
}
console.log( max(2,4) );

11,368 Pointsyeah! That's also a good way to do it :D! and you don't even need to set a variable , you just return Math.max(number1, number2) and that's it!
Cheers!
Keep Coding mate!
