I'm a bit confused on how to return the greater value of 2 numbers in parameters with an if statement.

You can use conditionals to accomplish this task.

But, before we can jump into that, we must be aware the you can't name parameters numbers. Apparently you called the first parameter 2 and the second parameter 5. Remember that in JavaScript parameters are like variables. You only give the values when you call the function, though. You name the parameters in the function definition (in your code it's the very first line of code where you define the function)

Once you've done that, you can write the conditional to test if the first argument is greater than the second argument, and if so, return the first argument (since it's bigger). Otherwise you should return the second parameter, since it's guaranteed bigger then the other. It could be the same, but if the parameters' values are the same, it doesn't matter which one you return.

A little free hint to help you get started:

function max(a, b) {
  if (a > b) {
    // Replace this comment with the code you should use...
  } else {
    // Replace this comment with the code you should use...
  }
}

I hope this helps

Good luck coding
