JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Creating Reusable Code with Functions Create a max() Function

No idea what to do here...

Not sure what to do here... I created the function, but not sure how to call it using a conditional statement. Also not sure if I named it correctly for a number...or if I need to use "parseInt"

script.js
function max(number1, number2) {
}

The task asks you to compare the passed in arguments using a conditional statement. Inside the curly braces is where that is done.

Thanks but how do I phrase the conditional statement, would it be something like this? ex: function max(number1, number2) { if return }

I'm aware of that. Just trying to get some quick help so I can continue this course without having to backtrack through a bunch of videos.

Being able to comfortably create this kind of comparison logic will be important to your continued learning. It's worth taking a bit of time now to review it before you continue.
