Whats wrong with this code ? It keeps saying parse error

var num1 = parseInt('5');
var num2 = parseInt('3');

function max(num1, num2) {
  if (num1 > num2) {
       return num1;
      } else {
       return num2;
}

Hey Alejandro,

Make sure your curly braces ({}) are all matched up; the function is missing the closing one. This can be really hard to spot if your formatting is off or you've been staring at it for a bit!

Hope this helps.

Looks like you are missing the closing bracket to your function.
