Hello Kingsley! Your code gives you parse error coz JavaScript interpreter can't parse your function declaration's parameters. If JavaScript could speak in english to humans , it'd say "I'm confused! And i cant understand any of this". Replace your "20" with variable "x" and "10" with "y" variable, coz our function need to be able to compare any two intergers, right? I hope it helped. (:
