I don't understand how my code is incorrect. How can I correct this please?

Hi there,

Your if statement is only testing to see if the biggest number is equal to twelve OR if your smallest is equal to 5.

You need to have a couple things. Your max function should take two arguments and return the highest (max).

So let's figure out what we need to do:

1. Provide two numbers.
2. Compare the Numbers
3. Return the highest.
4. Assign that function (1-3) to a named function.

So a standard function is created like this:

function max() {
  // Your code.
}

You need to provide two numbers,

function max( num1, num2 ) {

}

Then you need to compare the two. You can do this with an if statement or a tertiary expression. I'm using the later:

function max(num1, num2) {
  (num1 > num2 ) ? num1 : num2;  // I'm testing if num1 is greater than number 2, if yes, I return num1, else num2. 
}

Finally, I'm returning the number when the function is called:

function max(num1, num2) {
  return (num1 > num2 ) ? num1 : num2;  // I'm testing if num1 is greater than number 2, if yes, I return num1, else num2. 
}
