Execution Context
We run code by
- Defining objects
- Invoking methods
Every time we invoke a method, the Javascript engine creates a new execution context.
Global Execution Context
Even though we do not define any objects or methods, the Javascript created a Global Execution Context
.
This global execution context provides a global object named window
. In node.js world this global object is called global
.
Global execution also provide the this
context. Both, the this
context and window
object are the same object.
Also there are Hosting
in the global execution section, used to run before the code execution.
Whenever we define a global object, it is attached to the window
object by the global context
.
