Can someone explain this return statement for me?
<p>I have a return statement that was used in <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/4219164/1261316">this Stackover answer</a>, that I can't quite understand. Here it is:</p>

<pre><code>return maxWidth &gt; $this.width() || maxHeight &gt; $this.height();
</code></pre>

<p>What does it mean to return something in way?</p>

<p><em>I'll edit the title of this question after an answer as soon as I know what it is :)</em></p>
