A quick quiz question on javascript scoping. Try and figure this out before executing in browser
If you were to create this object:
var person =...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
Depends on whether you 1) fix the code (you're missing a comma after the height and a closing
}
at the end) and 2) don't have"use strict"
before the code (in which casethis
is set to undefined until explicitly set by call/apply or in prototypal methods); then the first console.log will show the person and the second one window/global (depending on your JS runtime).Well spotted on the code error. Was not intentional and have since updated it :P
Trick question, it won't run because it will throw a SyntaxError when parsing the code, so
this
won't be mapped to anything :PThe calculateBMI method
this
mapping to theperson
object makes sense to me, but the innerFunction mapping to the Window object was a surprise. Anybody care to explain?Because innerFunction have another different scope. Then
this
inside reference to function and not to person.You can solve it adding
self
:Or with arrow function:
It is going to return window all the time
