0 is false and any non-zero value is true.

var x=1; //x is now 1 if(x){ // validates condition x=0; //now x is 0 } if(x){ //fails condition x=1; } document.write(x); //prints 0 That's it.

Any non-zero number is True whereas zero is False. Since, x=1 at the first if the condition is True, and it is executed, which makes the value of x=0. Now, the second if is not executed since x becomes 0, and hence the condition is false. That is why the answer is zero.
