:Oh, and one more thing. I've never before encountered the "return x ==1"
:statement before. What exactly does it do?

x == 1

is a boolean condition. Either it is true or false.
If x is one, then the statement is true. If x is not one, then it is false.
The operator == checks if the two values are equal. If yes, then true, else
false.

It returns, therefore, a zero if false, and a one if true.
