It's saying it can't find variable numberA and I don't know exactly what it means.

The task doesn't saying about variables, and it's saying it my numberA is a variable that can be found. I don't get it.

script.js 
function max( numberA, numberB) { 
  if ( numberA >= numberB) {
    return numberA;
  } else if (numberA <= numberB)
    return numberB;
}
max(numberA, numberB);
alert(Math.random(numberA, numberB));

Hello! You need to add curly braces before and after "return numberB;", so that it looks like: 

else if (numberA <= numberB) { 
    return numberB; 
}

Or, you can also write it in one line:

else if (numberA <= numberB) return numberB;
