Code for this Question

Create a new function named max which accepts two numbers as arguments (you can name the arguments, whatever you would like). The function should return the larger of the two numbers.

HINT: You'll need to use a conditional statement to test the 2 parameters to see which is the larger of the two.

script.js 
function max(n1 , n2){
  var n1 = prompt("Enter n1");
  var n2 = prompt("Eneter n2");

  If (parseInt(n1) > parseInt(n2){
      alert



}

  • you don't need prompt for this question, and parseInt() takes two parameters
function max(n1, n2){
  if (n1>n2){
    return n1;
  } else {
    return n2;
  }
}

alert(max(1,5));
