JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Creating Reusable Code with Functions Create a max() Function

My JS (about function) seems well, but Challenge says "Bummer!". Please help me.

console returns 3. What is wrong??

Question: Create a new function named max which accepts two numbers as arguments (you can name the arguments, whatever you would like). The function should return the larger of the two numbers. HINT: You'll need to use a conditional statement to test the 2 parameters to see which is the larger of the two.

script.js 
function max(num1, num2){
  var test = num1 + num2;
  return  test;
}

console.log(max(1,2));

Hi. You need to use if/else statement.
