Why new Boolean(false) is true? [duplicate]

Question

I do not understand what's going on

var x=new Boolean(false)
if(x){
  console.log('plus')
}
console.log(x==false) //true

Why if(x) returns true ?

Answer 1

Says so in the docs:

Any object whose value is not undefined or null, including a Boolean object whose value is false, evaluates to true when passed to a conditional statement. For example, the condition in the following if statement evaluates to true

x = new Boolean(false);
if (x) {
  // ...this code is executed
}

Directly from MDN.

Answer 2

See MDN docs : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean .

It is stated :

Any object whose value is not undefined or null, including a Boolean object whose value is false, evaluates to true when passed to a conditional statement.
