1,364 PointsWhen stating the function are you saying max(1|2)? Ask in max 1 or 2? function max (1|2) if () { } else () return 2 }
function max (1|2)
if(){
max( 1 > 2)
return 1
} else
return 2

231,198 PointsHere's a few hints:
- parameter names cannot be numbers
- parameters must be separated by commas (not vertical bars) — try something like
max(a, b)
- the comparison needs to be done inside the parentheses that follow "if"
- you won't call the max function from inside its own definition
