Im sure it is a simple fix...

Can someone take a look at this for the code challenge and let me know what I'm doing wrong? I know I need a conditional statement but I guess I am not implementing it correctly?? Thanks!

script.js 
function max (100, 200) {
  if (100 > 200) {
    return 100;
  } else if (100 < 200) {
    return 200;
  }
}

Hi Benjamin, I think your problem is in the way you declare your function. You shouldn't have a white space between your function name and its arguments. function max(100, 200) <<<---

Otherwise if you think about your "else if" statement, it is not necessary. Else will be enough as you comparing only 2 values.

I hope it helps.
