Function max problem

Hi, can somebody help me with this problem, please?

Thank you!

script.js 
function max(number1, number2) {
   if (number1 > number2 ){
      return number1 > number2
  }else {
   return number2 > number1
  }
}

function max(12, 34);

You are close but the max function should return the bigger of the two numbers so: 

function max(number1, number2) {
   if (number1 > number2 ){
      return number1 
  }else {
   return number2
  }
}
