//3 errors in the code
//1) your if is it correct to use a capital I
//2) if condition, shouldn't it be inside paranthesis
//3) for how many ever the curly braces, you have opened, do a count, do you have the same amount of closing curly

function max(num1, num2) {
  If num1 > num2{
     return num1;
  }
  else {
    return num2;
}
