Do I pass two numbers to the function?

I keep getting the message "Did you pass 2 numbers to the max() function". Everything else seems to be working fine but I can't figure out why the test is not passing. Can anybody please explain where I'm wrong?

script.js 
function max(number1,number2) {
 if (number1 > number2) {
   return number1
   } else {
   return number2
   }
}

max(20, 10);

alert(max( ) );

Hey Jarl! Your close, but the challenge actually wants you to alert the max function, and pass it two parameters like this:

alert(max(5, 7))

In your code you simply alerted max(), which dosent work seeing as the function need two parameters. Hope this helps!
