Give this a shot: 

function max(num1, num2) {
  if (num1 > num2) {
    return num1;
  } else {
    return num2;
  }
}

There is a slight problem here, which is that if they wanted to pedantic, they'd make us include for the case that the numbers were equal.

You also don't need to use the Math() function. You're creating your own function which does some basic math which doesn't require Math().
