Question

Challenge Task 2 of 2
Beneath the max function you just created, call it with two numbers and display the results in an alert dialog. Pass the result of the function to the alert method.
For example, to display the results of the Math.random() method in an alert dialog you could type this:
alert( Math.random( ) );

There are a few things I can point out that will hopefully help clarify some things for you.  First, you do not need the var num1 = 10; or var num2 = 1; because you are passing variables dynamically when you call the function at the bottom of the file with max(10,1) Second, you need to have the function determine which of the two numbers you passed is the higher value.  Maybe you could compare the two to see if one is > than the other?  Finally, I believe the challenge is asking you to alert the result of the function, not inside the function itself.  You could do this with alert(max(10,1)) See if you can figure out how to compare the two values in your function, you're close! Best of luck.
