JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Creating Reusable Code with Functions Create a max() Function

My code looks okay, but Treehouse says otherwise??

Question is: Beneath the max function you just created, call it with two numbers and display the results in an alert dialog. Pass the result of the function to the alert method.

I looked through other forums and did exactly what the answers said, but Treehouse is saying what I'm doing is wrong.

So what exactly did I do wrong?? I'm getting very frustrated at this point

script.js 
function max(10, 12) {

    if(10 > 12) {
      return 10;
    } else if (12 > 10) {
      return 12; 
    }
}
    alert(max(10, 12));
