should this not work? function max(num1, num2) { if num1 > num2 { return num1; } else { return num2;}}

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

Hi Deji Amos

You're very close. All that needs fixing is the conditions you're checking for with the if statement need to be enclosed with parenthesis.

if num1 > num2
  // should be
if (num1 > num2)

Otherwise, nice work!! :) :dizzy:
