Numbers can be passed as arguments later when you call the function.

231,236 PointsThe variables should only get values when the function is called. They should not get values in the function definition.
If that hint doesn't clear it up, show what the code looks like now.

if (num>num2) {
return num;
}
else {
return num2;
}

17,062 PointsYou need to supply the fucntion 2 arguments such as num and num2. then u check if num is greater than num 2, if it doesn't u return num2.
