The `max` function isn't returning a number.

function max(num1 , num2) {
  if (num1 > num2){
    console.log(num1)
  } else {
      console.log(num2)
  }

Write your function call outside of the scope of the function.

That is the very last line of the file.

function max(num1 , num2) {

    //do code


}

max(3,8);
