What does the ternary operator return when the condition is false?

Short answer. The value after the colon.

For a = 45 and b = 72, what does a > b ? a : b give?

72.

Remember

condition ? if true : if false
It gives back a value

Can a whole if else fit in one line? Yes. Is a greater than b? No. So big gets the value after the colon, seventy two. Condition, question mark, true value, colon, false value. It gives back a value.
