const hero = {
  name: "Batman",
  saveGotham: function() {

javscript call

myFunc.call(thisArg, ...args)

javascript call

function myFunc(p1, p2, pN)
{
     // here "this" will equal "myThis"
}
let myThis = {};

// call myFunc using myThis as context.
// pass params to function arguments.
myFunc.call(myThis, "param1", "param2", "paramN");

JavaScript Function call()

const person = {
  firstName:"John",
  lastName: "Doe",
  fullName: function () {
    return this.firstName + " " + this.lastName;
  }
}

// This will return "John Doe":
person.fullName();  

javascript call()

const personOne = {
  firstName : "Elon",
  secondName : "Musk"
}

const getFullName = function(company, country) {
  console.log(this.firstName + " " + this.secondName + ", " + company + ", " + country);
}

const personTwo = {
  firstName : "Mark",
  secondName : "Zuckerburg"
}

getFullName.call(personOne, "Tesla", "United States");    // outputs Elon Musk, Tesla, United States
getFullName.call(personTwo, "Facebook", "United States");    // outputs Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, United States

The JavaScript call() Method

		const person = {
name: "John Smith",
getNameAndAddress: function(city, country)
{
return this.name+city+country;
}

}
const personWithoutGet = {
name: "Jerry Smithers"}

 console.log(person.getNameAndAddress.call(personWithoutGet, 'Berlin','Germany'));
/*you can think of bind(), apply() and call() ALL as "stealing someone else's function to use."*/
/* victimBeingStolenFrom.functionName.call(theThief) */
/*notice the second variable personWithoutGet does not have a getName function*/

javascript call example

l = "abcder";
q = "Ererwrwrewrew";
console.log(String.prototype.substr.call(q, 1, 4))
/*rerw...4 refers to how many characters to substring*/
