I dont think i understand what it is asking?

I am not understanding this challenge.

script.js 
function max(high, low) {
  var high = 20;
  var low = 10;
  if ( high > low ) {
return high; 
  }

}

You're close, but the values of "high" and "low" are parameters to the function, so you won't need to create new variables of those names. And since the values will be provided as arguments you will not need to assign them values.

Your test code does half the job by returning the "high" one if it really is higher, but you still need to return the other one in case the test does not pass.
