you are close. first, this code is not determining the return value of a function, so you don't need the return keyword. second, don't assign in the ternary, but use it to determine the value in the assignment. so the proper syntax here is myVariable = (boolean expression) ? value1 : value2;

It is still asking for a boolean expression to evaluate.
