Hi Ulyssa, You'll need to use a conditional statement to test which of the two parameters is the largest. 

function max ( a, b) {
  if ( a > b ) {
    return a;
  } else if ( b > a) {
    return b;
  }
}

You can add additional else statement to check if they are equal:

function max ( a, b) {
  if ( a > b ) {
    return a;
  } else if ( b > a) {
    return b;
  } else {
    return `They are equal`;
  }
}
