Bummer: SyntaxError: script.js: Unexpected token `` (7:11)

Couldn't understand what exactly meant by Unexpected token `` (7:11)

script.js 
function max(first, secound) {
if (first > secound) {
return first;
} else {
return secound;
}
max(20, 5);

Looks like a missing curly bracket to close the function.

function max(first, secound) {
 if (first > secound) {
 return first;
 } else {
 return secound;
 }
} <---------
max(20, 5);
