The “this” keyword in JavaScript refers to the object it belongs to. By default in the browser, it refers to the global object which is the window.
Keep in mind that if it is used inside an arrow function, it refers to the enclosing scope as arrow functions don’t bind their own context. Also, note that if a function is called with bind or call, this will refer to the context passed in as the first parameter.
