Question

function get_denomination(){
    return "Fabrice Petard";
}

function auto_flatterie(flatterie){ // 
   return this.get_denomination() + " est " + flatterie + " !";
}

console.debug(auto_flatterie("le plus intelligent")); // affiche  "Fabrice Petard est le plus intelligent !"

Can you explain to what “this” is bound to and why this.get_denomination doesn’t throw any error ?

Answer 1

In the code you posted, this is the global window object. When you create a function in the default global scope (like get_denomination) it gets attached as a property to the window object.
