Help with conditional

function max (Big,Small) { var greater = if(Big > Small) {Big} else {Small} return greater; }

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, would appreciate some guidance.

script.js 
function max (Big,Small) { 
                    var greater = if(Big > Small) {Big} else {Small}
                    return greater; }

Hi Sadman

function max(Big, Small) {
  if (Big > Small) {
   return Big 
  } else {
   return Small 
  }
};
