I don't know what you're trying to achieve with this function, but here's a working version.

CREATE FUNCTION f_test(myvalue integer) RETURNS float AS $$
BEGIN
    IF myvalue = 1 THEN
            IF 1=1 THEN
                    RETURN 0.30::FLOAT;
            ELSE
                    RETURN 0.50::FLOAT;
            END IF;
    ELSE
            RETURN 1.0::FLOAT;
    END IF;
END;

The function returns 0.3 if input value is 1, otherwise it'll return 1. Edit: Note that 0.5 is never returned by the function.
