The max-function is supposed to return the biggest number out of the two passed in.

Your function as is, returns the two arguments concatenated. If I pass in 2 and 3 to your function, i would get back the string "2 3".

Here is how it should be:

function max( one, two ) {
  if(one > two) {
    return one;
  } else {
    return two;
  }
}

or you could also write the a bit shorter:

function max( one, two ) {
  return one > two ? one : two;
}
