Apply Call

Apply Call

//From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1986896/what-is-the-difference-between-call-and-apply

/*The main difference is that apply lets you invoke the function with arguments as an array; 
call requires the parameters be listed explicitly. 
See here and here.  
Pseudo syntax:  theFunction.apply(valueForThis, arrayOfArgs) 
theFunction.call(valueForThis, arg1, arg2, ...) 
Sample code: */
function theFunction(name, profession) {  
  alert("My name is " + name + " and I am a " + profession + "."); 
} 
theFunction("John", "fireman");
theFunction.apply(undefined, ["Susan", "school teacher"]);
theFunction.call(undefined, "Claude", "mathematician");
