I know the function works correctly, however not sure how i'm messing up asking to put the result into an alert box. It keeps saying I haven't applied the numbers or theres a syntax error.
function max (width, height) {
if (width > height) {
return width;
} else {
return height;
}
}
alert(max());
max(15,10);

You're on the right track.
Right now, you're calling the max function twice. Once inside the alert method (which is correct), but you aren't passing in the values. Then the function is being called again outside the method, and the values are being passed in there. However, the instruction want the max function called inside the alert with the values passed in.
So, you really just need to kind of combine the two calls you have into one. Delete the last one, but add the values to the first one.
Nice work! :)
