function max(upper, lower) {
}

1,916 PointsThank you I got it!

1,916 Pointsfunction max (upper, lower){ var lower; var upper; if(lower < upper){ return upper; } else { return lower; } }
max()
I did it :D

function max(first, second) {
if(first>second) {
return first;
}
return second;
}
alert(max(4, 3));
I;m not sure about your declaring variables. I don't know what it does. initially, i thought declaring your variable might interfere with your parameters. But it seems to work. Hence i'm curious if it alters anything (?).

I have been using this code in the console of chrome. You can change the numbers of the variables for know which number is greater than the other. For this reason I have used variables.
Do you understand?

28,694 Pointsbut parameters are already variables. You could overwrite the parameter values without using the var keyword:
function max(first, second) {
first = 45;
second = 89;
if(first>second) {
return first;
}
return second;
}
alert(max(4, 3));

28,694 PointsCan you post an attempt? Or could you confirm that you want the full answer? In terms of a learning experience, it might be more beneficial to post an attempt, and get feedback. FYI, Nicholas Vogel is right about the method signature. You just need to use an if statement and two return statements. Don't need an else, as anything outside an if that includes a return statement is implicitly an else.
