What am I missing on this one?

var max = function (2,4) {

 if (4 > 2)  {
   return 4;

 }

Hi steve

Try this.

function max(numOne, numTwo) {
  if(numOne > numTwo) {
  return numOne;
} else {
  return numTwo;
}
}

Happy coding

Paul

In the parenthesis you need to provide two arguments, not the actual numbers themselves, so to "call" this function you would do this

max(3, 10); // Returns numTwo
max(13, 1); // Returns numOne

Hope this helps
