function max(lenght,breath){
  var a = lenght;    //no need for this
  var b = breath;    //no need for this
  if(a > b){       
    return a+"is bigger"; // here you should just return a
  }
  else if (b>a){                      // you dont need else if
    return b+"is bigger";
  }
}
console.log(max(100,200)); // show the result with alert 
function max(a, b) {
  if(a > b) {
  return a;
  }else {
    return b;
  }
}

alert(max(7, 5));
