Hi Robert there a couple of issues with the code that has been written. Where you have called the function, this will not work, the function needs to be called outside of the function. Also try calling it without the return as well. 

function max(x,y) {
  if (x < y ) {
    document.write("x is bigger then y");
  } else {
    document.write("x is smaller then y");
  }
}

max(4,9)

Hope this helped.
