JavaScript Basics Challenge Help

I passed this challenge, but was it meant to be this hard/complex? I feel like I was somehow overdoing it, and the solution was something more obvious that slipped my mind. Am I missing something? Here is my code.

function max ( x, y ) {
  if ( x > y ) {
    return x; 
  } else if ( y > x ) {
    return y; 
  } else {
    alert('Please enter two numbers that are different.');
  }
}

alert ( max ( 2, 4 ) );
