Actually I was just trying to learn this conditional statement syntax. So instead of writing some effective conditions like $1 >5, I was just putting (1 == 1) and (1 != 1 ) for simulating true and false condition . My whole thought process was if the syntax works fine, I can simple replace this 1 == 1 with some useful conditions like $1 == 22 or anything else which is required for a given problem. I was unclear why the exact same statement didnt work in END block. As explained by your answer ( and @Stephen kitt's), I got to know END is actually a special pattern.
