I honestly can't figure this out, I think my code is right.

max(6,8)

max(6,8)

Two small things. You need a semicolon after return y instead of a colon and, the function needs a closing bracket.

On the top of Erik's solution, also add a semicolon after max(6,8); too. hope this helps :)

Odd I tried this and it worked.. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body>

<p>This example calls a function which performs a calculation, and returns the result:</p>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script> var a; var b; function myFunction(a, b) { if (a>b){ return a; } else{ return b; }

} document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = myFunction(30, 3); </script>

</body> </html>

Looks like Erik & Hewan got this!
