what does this line of javascript shorthand means?

x === false ? true: false;

what doesn't above JavaScript mean? is it if x is equal to false then set x to true or else set x to false?

It's called the ternary operator. Learn more about it here

or in long hand

 if (x === false)
 {
   return true;
 }
 else 
 {
    return false;
 }

x === false ? true: false;

When x is equal and of the same type(boolean) then the statement is true else statement is false.

Written longhand would be 

if(x === false){
    return true;
}else{
    return false;
}

That resolves to true if x is strictly equal to false, and false otherwise. No value is set for x.
