I've never gone over what this quiz talks about and I've seen the video 4 times. The question asks for the method t hat returns the greater of 2 numbers, and I have no idea what to do.

28,558 PointsIf you are faced with a method you don't know how to use or want to accomplish something but don't know the right method then Google is your friend. Looking up documentation for various methods is a common occurrence for any professional coder, so getting used to it during your practice would not be a bad idea.
In this case you can look at the documentation for the Math class. It lists all of the methods that exist in that class, along with a description of what the method does. If you search that site for "larger of two" you'll find the correct method in no time.
Do note that the documentation will also show you what parameters the method takes in parentheses, and the various variations of the method, but for the quiz you only need to type the name of the method. You do't need to provide any values to it.
