I have tried a few different ways of doing this but it won't work. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
function max(value1, value2) {
} if (value1 > value2) {
return value1;
} else {
return value2;
}
console.log( max(10,5) );

function max(value1, value2) {
} if (value1 > value2) { //move the closing bracket found here to the end of the function
return value1;
} else {
return value2;
}
console.log( max(10,5) ); //use alert

function max(value1, value2) {
if(value1 > value2) {
return value1;
} else {
return value2;
}
}
console.log(max(15,10));
