how to use conditional statement for this purpose

Hello Saurabh,

You're almost there! The errors I see are the following:

-- For Task 1 --

1) In order to create the max function, you must include the parameters that the function needs, and these parameters are variables names, not numbers.

2) When comparing both arguments passed into the parameters, the function must "return" the one that's greater than the other.

Here's a solution:

function max(number1, number2) {
  var maxNumber;

  if (number1 > number2) {
    maxNumber = number1;   
  } else {
    maxNumber = number2; 
  }

  return maxNumber;
}

--- For Task 2 --

1) After the function is created, you must call it and include the 2 numbers you want to compare. Also, you have to display the results in an alert dialog.

Here's how you can solve it:

function max(number1, number2) {
  var maxNumber;

  if (number1 > number2) {
    maxNumber = number1;   
  } else {
    maxNumber = number2; 
  }

  return maxNumber;
}

alert(max(3,4));

Hope this helps!

Ah okay so the website will assign the two arguments. You just need to name them something. So when I did this project I had

function max(num1, num2)

but you can call them whatever you want. Don't use actual numbers, we want it so that later you can assign num1 or num2 whatever number is relevant to the program. (Also, your return values should return the numbers, not a boolean) Great job! You were so close, keep up the good work.
