Create a new function named max() which accepts two numbers as arguments. The function should return the larger of the two numbers. You'll need to use a conditional statement to test the 2 numbers to see which is the larger of the two.
function max(2, 5) { if(2 > 5) { console.log(true); } else { console.log(false); } }
function max(2, 5) {
if(2 > 5) {
console.log(true);
} else {
console.log(false);
}
}

function max(a, b) {
if(a > b) {
return a;
} else {
return b;
}
}

function max(a,b){};
Compare a and b with if else statement
if(a>b) { // is a greater than b?
return a;
}
else {
return b;
}
max(10,1)// 10 represents a and 1 is b... now we pass the arguments to the function once we call it.
Lastly, we alert the max function using the alert method.
alert(max(10,1)); //you can delete the above the else statement max() function for the second part.
