Reading Snippets [47 => This] 👉

"This" is used differently in JavaScript from how it is used in most other programming languages.

The five ways "This" can be used in JavaScript include:

  • In a global scope to refer to the global object

  • To refer to the global function when calling a function

  • Calling a method

  • To refer to a newly created object when calling a constructor

  • Explicit setting to the first argument of a corresponding function call
