JavaScript how does this argument if(this.getCurrentQuestion().isCorrectAnswer(answer);) evaluate to a boolean

 if(this.getCurrentQuestion().isCorrectAnswer(answer);){   ///dont both have to return a boolean for the argument to be true
     this.score++;
      }
Quiz.prototype.getCurrentQuestion = function() { //// how does this return true or false
  return this.questions[this.currentQuestionIndex];

};

Question.prototype.isCorrectAnswer = function(choice){ // i DO understand that is returns a Boolean 
    return this.answer === choice;
};

// im NOT GETTING ERRORS I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND HELP PLEASE 
// MAYBE ANOTHER SIMPLER EXAMPLE

I am pretty sure anytime you use a conditional you are writing a boolean statement. if... true or false.

With your quiz.prototype... I'm not exactly sure other than the fact that 0 can be interpreted as false and any other value that isn't zero or empty can be interpreted as true. I hope this helps.
