I am very new to javascript programming, i am trying to understand how javascript program works. Hence i read about concepts like execution context, execution stacks etc. After understanding a bit of execution context i learned that "this" refers to execution context. So i tried to print execution context inside an object literal to check the execution context, hence i wrote the following code.
var obj = {
method: function() {
console.log(this);
}
};
obj.method();
This gives me an output as:
{ method: [Function: method] }
After seeing this i have two questions, that is, is the above code correct to know the execution context?, and if yes, then shouldn't execution context should be an Object { method: function() } instead of the output it is giving.
I tried reading a lot regarding this but i couldn't crack it.
In Chrome the output looks like
{method: ƒ}
Internet Explorer
[object Object] {}
Firefox
Object { method: method() }
They all mean the same thing and refer to the object obj
.
