I can't solve this problem. :( Create a new function named max which accepts two numbers as arguments (you can name the

script.js 
function max(name, lastName) {
  return name + lastName; 
}
function max(4,5) {
 return max;
}

The goal of your function is to return the larger of the two numbers. To do this you need to make a comparison. Try an if statement and use the greater than symbol (>).
