Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 9,715 PointsSeems like I am missing something
Getting an error message that says my function isn't working because it is not returning the larger number of the two...In my function though I thought I explicitly have it returning the higher value which is the "weight" variable...What am I doing wrong?
function max(weight, height) {
var weight = 10;
var height = 5;
if (weight > height) {
return weight;
} else {
return height;
}
}

the var declarations are not needed inside the functions.
You define the arguments when you call the function (outside of the function). Like this for example:
console.log(max(10, 5));
So you just have to delete the variable declarations in the function for the first part of the code challenge.
Happy coding, Nils
