my answer for a challenge question gives an error ...

Hello there,

I understood the concept about parameter and argument and trying to solve a problem and came up with an answer below ... In the console answer is right but getting 'event handling error' ... Please give me a clue to find a solution but not the actual answer. I tried different approaches nothing work yet. The task is to create a function with two numbers as argument and compare them to find larger one then return the larger one. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you beforehand 

    function max (large, small){
        if (large > small) {
            return large;
        } 
    }
    console.log(max(90, 11));

Your really close! All you has to do is add a else statement and return the other one, i'll try to show you without giving the full answer. Like this:

    function max (large, small){
        if (large > small) {
            return large;
        } else {
         //code here
        }
    }
    console.log(max(90, 11));

If you think my answer was good, feel free to mark it as best answer below, if you need more help in the future from me, you can contact me at devinwscheu@gmail.com.

It is really funny after posting my question I realized that too :) here is my actual answer 

    function max (large, small){
        if (large > small) {
            return large;
        } else {
            return small;
        }
    }
    console.log(max(90, 11));

All is ok now :) Thanks for a prompt response
