Hi Brenna

function max(x, y) { //Create function named max which accepts two numbers as arguments
 if (x > y) { //Function should return the larger of the two numbers. This test to see which number is larger
  return x; 
 }else {
  return y; 
 }
}
alert(max(10, 25)); //Beneath the max function, 
                   //call it with two numbers and display the results in an alert dialog
