Making max Function

Hi all,

Currently stuck trying to make max function.. I think I am close but missing a small piece of it somewhere!

script.js 
function max(numberOne, numberTwo) {
 var numberOne = Math.random();
 var numberTwo = Math.random();
    if (numberOne > numberTwo) {
    return numberOne;
  } else if (numberOne < numberTwo) {
    return numberTwo;
  }
}

think they want you to create the random numbers outside the function then pass them to it.

function max(numberOne, numberTwo) {
    if (numberOne > numberTwo) {
    return numberOne;
  } else  {
    return numberTwo;
  }
}
 var numberOne = Math.random();
 var numberTwo = Math.random();

alert(max(numberOne, numberTwo));
