You have a few issues here:
- Function arguments are never declared as literal values, they are variable names which will represent the values.
- You have code that prompts for input, but that's not part of the challenge
- You have code that writes to the console, but the challenge wants the results in a return statement.
- You placed a closing brace after the first line of the function (ending the function)
- You have a test that checks if 40 is larger than 60. That will never be true.
- You should only define the function, not call it.
I strongly suggest you review at least some of the course videos, with a focus on function structure.
