What does "this" mean in javascript?

[shamsmosowi]

Hi there,

In JavaScript, the keyword "this" refers to the object that is currently being referenced. It is usually used to refer to the object that called the method or the object that the function is being used on.

For example, if you have an object, let’s call it theObj, and you want to refer to the object itself, you can use the keyword “this”, like this:

theObj.method = function(){
  console.log(this); // logs theObj
}

This keyword can be very useful in JavaScript as it allows you to access the current object without having to explicitly specify the object name.

I hope this helps!
