I do not think the challenge accept the shorthand solution and you did not returned the value. You try this code.

Challenge Task 1 of 2

Create a new function named max which accepts two numbers as arguments (you can name the arguments, whatever you would like). The function should return the larger of the two numbers.

HINT: You'll need to use a conditional statement to test the 2 parameters to see which is the larger of the two.

function max(apple, melon){
    if(apple > melon){
    return apple;
  }
  return melon;
}
