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.
function max(5, 10) {
if(5 >= 10) {
return 5;
else if (5 <= 10) {
return 10;
}
}else()
}

function max(num1, num2) {
if (num1 >= num2) {
return num1;
} else {
return num2;
}
}
you also had a missing } in your first part of the if statement.
You don't need to compare the numbers again with an else if because if they failed in the first part of the if, you know that num2 is bigger.

5,177 Pointsyeah, you are right, but the code is self explanatory.
