function max(num1, num2) {
  if (parseInt) {

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

you do not need use parseint, think in the most simplest way, how you compare with a conditional statement

your if is correct, take off parseint, then dont forget the else part, not always the statement in if is true otherwise else is true
