i got this error always Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

Hi Alex,

If you are getting that error, I'm assuming it is Task 2 you are struck on. I think you may have over-thought what is being asked for Task 2.

Just to make sure, this is the working code for Task 1, where you create the function max that takes two arguments and returns the larger of the two.

var max = function(a, b) {
  if (a > b) {
    return a;
  } else {
    return b;
  }
}

For Task 2, all you have to do is call the function in an Alert box, and pass in your own parameters. So just add the function call below the complete code from Task 1.

alert (max (5, 9));       //you can use whichever numbers you like

Hope that helps. Keep Coding! :)

A couple things wrong with your code. When returning a variable you can simply return the variable itself. Also your alert should pass numbers rather than the parameters of the function. view below

function max(a, b) { 
    if (a > b) { 
        return a; 
    } else { 
        return b; 
    } 
} 
alert(max(100, 99));

I hope this helps.
