Hi Baasanbat,

In this case it's better to use letter as the parameter and use real value only when you pass the argument, like this:

function max(x, y) {
  if (x>y) {    // Check if x is larger than y. If the condition is TRUE, x is the larger number
    return x;
  } else {      // Otherwise, it's a given that y is the larger number
    return y;
  }

// To call the function
max(6,5);

Hope this helps!
