This Keyword

In JavaScript functions, you will see the special “this” keyword used. Let’s see it in an example…

let animal = {
    animalName: ‘Bongo’,
    getName: function(){
        return this.animalName;
    }
};
console.log(animal.getName());

The “this” keyword refers to the object itself. You will see this in object function properties often.

Happy Coding!
