Functions look like:

function functionName (parameter1, parameter2) {
  return parameter1 + parameter2;
}

//calling them looks like:
functionName(parameter1, parameter2);

A conditional statement might look like this:

if (a===b) {
  //do this
} else {
  // or this
}

You can put a conditional inside a function. it would look like this:

function functionName (parameter1, parameter2) {
   if (a===b) {
     return parameter1;
   } else {
     return parameter2;
   }
}

//then you can call it 
functionName (1, 2);

function max (Firstnumber, Secondnmber) { 
   if (/* put the conditions here */) {
      return Firstnumber;
   } else {
      return Secondnmber;
   }
}

then you need to finish it, then call it and finish the challenge.
