function max(a, b) { //the function is named max, a and b are the parameters
// The function should return the larger of the two numbers.
// You'll need to use a conditional statement
if (a > b){
return a
} else {
return b
}
}

16,594 PointsHi ash, sometimes I find it helps if I just take the challenge one step at a time. 1: create a function 2: name it max 3: use parameters (you used numbers not parameters) 4: use a conditional statement (if else in this case)
