alert(max(10,20));

Im having a bit of trouble figuring out where the alert needs to be placed

script.js 
function max(a,b)
{ 
if( a > b) {
   return a;
}

else {
     return b;
}

}
max(2,10);

I know (10,20) should be (2,10) ;)

so your code is looking right you just need to put 

alert(max(2,10));

instead of just

max(2,10);

hope this helps and happy coding.

The alert goes were you give 'max' it's values:

alert( max(2,10))
