Question

In javascript I do:

var myObject = {
  myBoo: false,
  myMethod: function () {
     console.log("my method: "+ myBoo);
  }
}
console.log("myObject.myBoo=" + myObject.myBoo);
myObject.myMethod();

This outputs:

myObject.myBoo=false
ReferenceError: myBoo is not defined

Why is myBoo undefeind from myMethod’s perspective?

Thanks.

Answer 1

This is because myBoo is not defined as a global variable, but rather as an object property. The proper way of accessing it in the myMethod function would therefore be:

console.log("my method: "+ this.myBoo);
