`this` in javascript

https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/up%20%26%20going/ch2.md

  1. foo() ends up setting this to the global object in non-strict mode -- in strict mode, this would be undefined and you'd get an error in accessing the bar property -- so "global" is the value found for this.bar.
  2. obj1.foo() sets this to the obj1 object.
  3. foo.call(obj2) sets this to the obj2 object.
  4. new foo() sets this to a brand new empty object.
this.js

function foo() {
	console.log( this.bar );
}

var bar = "global";

var obj1 = {
	bar: "obj1",
	foo: foo
};

var obj2 = {
	bar: "obj2"
};

// --------

foo();				// "global"
obj1.foo();			// "obj1"
foo.call( obj2 );		// "obj2"
new foo();			// undefined
