I don't get it

I'm still lost

script.js 
function max (A17, P19) {
  max (A17,P19); 
 if (A17 >= P19) {
  return A17;
} else {
  return P19;
}
}

What are you confused about?

The function gets called outside of the function, not inside. We just need it to check if the first number is greater than the second, not greater or equal to. 

const max = function(A17, A19) 
{
  if(A17 > A19) 
  {
    return A17;
  }
  else 
  {
    return A19;
  }
}

alert(max(72, 34));
