Treehouse TeacherHi there, Claudius! Your function must be more generic. Treehouse is going to call that function and send in numbers, so it must accept any numbers that come in and compare them. You're attempting to hard-code the values. The things inside the parentheses in the function declaration are called parameters and they must be valid JavaScript variable names like num1 or num2 for example. Then compare num1 against num2. When Treehouse runs your function they will send in two numbers. The first number will go into the num1 and the second will go into num2 (assuming those are the variable names you choose).
Also, the alert is not asked for nor required by the challenge nor the call to the function.
Give it another shot with these hints in mind!
