I have a Syntax:Parse error. Can anyone help me determine what I missed?

I know I am missing something, but i just can't put my finger on it.

script.js 
function max(x, y) {
  if ( x > y) {
    return x;
  } else {
    return y;
  }

Hi there, Adriana Ingwerson ! You are missing a closing curly brace at the end }. You ended your else statement with one, but you must also end the function with one.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
