Beneath the max function you just created, call it with two numbers and display the results in an alert dialog. Pass the result of the function to the alert method.

For example, to display the results of the Math.random() method in an alert dialog you could type this: alert(Math.random());

script.js 
function max(2,10){
       if (2>10) {
return x ;
  } else {
    return y;
  } 
}
 alert(max(2,10));

:point_right: Your alert is good, but you must use variables in the definition of max.

Just add this alert to the function you posted in your second question.
