Hello Treehouse, I would appreciate some 'fresh eyes' to look at my code. I cannot figure out what I am missing.

I am sorry for the repeated question as it has been asked

I have searched the forum, and implemented the solutions I found but they are not working either.

Thank you in advance for your help.

script.js 
function max (num1, num2) {
  if (num1 > num2) {
  return num1;
  } else {
  return num2;
  }

}

alert (Math.random (max));

Tina;

You are passing in a variable, not the max() function into the Math.random() method. Try that minor typing change, which results in a major program change, and see it if helps.
