See this: var x = function() { if(true) { return false; } return true;

See this:

var x = function() {
    if(true) {
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

if( x === false) {
      alert("OK");
} else {
      alert("Wrong");       
}

Check Fiddle.

Why is it “Wrong”? Why does this function not return false as expected?

    To call your function use

    if( x() === false) {
    

    You were testing if the variable x was holding false, instead of testing the returned value of the function contained in the x variable.
