In the second line, . . . it like a number, ie zero. Since 0 is considered false, the test is unsuccesful and the substitution . . . if sees the string "0", which is not considered false, and the test succeeds, just as we wanted. As . . .

logical operator
In [[awk]], *logical operators* are used to perform [[boolean]] operations, and a return a value of [true] . . . or [false], depending on the values of the [operand]s. . . . [[operand]]s are [[true]], otherwise returns [[false]] | [[or]] | [[doublepipe]] | Returns [[true]] . . . [[operand]]s are [[true]], otherwise returns [[false]] | [[not]] | [[pling !]] | Returns [[false] . . . operators return a [[boolean]] value of 0 for [[false]], and 1 for [[true]].
