how to call two arguments....

Underneath the max() function you just created, call it with two arguments and display the results in an alert dialog. You can pass the result of the function to the alert() method. For example, to display the results of the Math.random() method in an alert dialog you could type this:

script.js 
function max(x, y) { if (x > y) { return x; } else { return y; } } 
function max(x , y){
alert(x + "and" y );
}

I suppose that the max function should be called like:

function max(x, y) { if (x > y) { return x; } else { return y; } }

maxValue = max(5, 1); // Find the max value of 5 and 1

alert(maxValue); // alert the max value
