What does it mean when the console returns the function itself?

Edited. The console is returning the function itself as a response, not the function result.

The goal is for the function to say whether or not one value is greater than the other.

let primeiraVariavel = 34;
let segundaVariavel = 10;

function resultado() {
 return primeiraVariavel > segundaVariavel ? "verdadeiro" : "falso";
}
console.log(resultado);

Because you are explicitly ordering the function to be displayed:

console.log(resultado);

And not her return. To display the return you need to make the function call:

console.log(resultado());
// ------------------^^

Thus will be displayed verdadeiro.

let primeiraVariavel = 34;
let segundaVariavel = 10;

function resultado() {
 return primeiraVariavel > segundaVariavel ? "verdadeiro" : "falso";
}

console.log(resultado());

console.log(result); replace with console.log(result());

When you don’t put the "()", you just reference and don’t call the function.
