This is a Boolean primitive value representing the logically false state.

Conditional code execution depends on this value to signify the execution of a block of script code.

Warnings:

• Beware of a rather insidious effect when converting Boolean primitive values into objects. All objects yield the value true when converted back to a Boolean primitive. This also applies to a Boolean object having the value false.

• This if() test yields a true condition and selects the opposite branch to that which you would expect:

   var myBoolean = new Boolean(false);

   if(myBoolean)

   	{

   // This branch is called

   	}

   else

   	{

   // You would have expected this one to be called

   	}
