THIS keyword - Beau teaches JavaScript

can anyone tell me why i am getting o.f() is undefined instead of value 8 ??

Great stuff

Just stop clicking

I understood because I read the book You Don't Know Javascript, but I think you should slow down a bit for newer people, otherwise I found it well made, really love this series you're doing.

Complicated example. Must use easy to understand parameters.

Great upload!

This is very helpful thanks

Thanks for this!

Great info! Understanding core JavaScript is so important... its more important than learning frameworks.

This video could save a whole day wasted in 8 minutes

what program are u using ?

for someone who's starting in JS this video was very fast, I find it a little hard to understand.

Thank you, but you need to slow down much more. I kept getting lost and eventually stopped at the half-way point.

Slow down & get a new mouse lol. But thanks for the help.

thanks

Excellent explanation, I loved it

Bad way to teach.
I had to stop the video halfway to avoid complications.
Slow down and put the learner in mind next time.

short time best explanation.

too fast, too advance. your reference is mdn and I thought that this video will give me a best explanation but I was wrong

Didn't understand sheet

If you listen very carefully, the first 14 seconds explain a lot! " The value of 'this' when used in a function, is the object that owns the function"

this tutorial is so confusing

The more I try to understand "this" the more my brain wants to fall out of my head.

great lesson!

worst among the most incompetent people who tried to explain this.

Eureca! Thank you for this movie. I have got it!

Yes it was fast, but there is a pause button for that. Thanks for explaining THIS in its various contexts. It's not the definite guidebook, but it was very helpful to me!!!

This was confusing.

Worse explanation ever! It confused me more.

you haven't answered the main question: Why TF do we need "this" in the first place? It does absolutely nothing. Is it some sort of inside joke?

thanks but i hate it

THIS is bullshit

You have not simplified the issue ,but thank you for the video <3.

I really would like to grasp these concepts, but it seems as though JavaScript is some sort of 'bottomless pit' of information that cannot be explained in a simplistic terminology. Thereby leaving a beginner unsure about what one learns.

Thank you!

most confusing tutorial...

Many thanks for this serious video about the subject far away from the "hello world" ones , one should be concentrated , stop and replay to get the best of the video , thank you again

those mouse clicks are so loud I had to stop 1 minute in the video because it's distracting from the subject

JavaScript is disgusting. Utterly disgusting!

this has to be the least beginner friendly tutorial on the subject. I feel like I have to be a brain surgeon to follow along.

great, great, great

When Beau says 'Created' about O (When talking about arrow functions around minute 7), does created mean when it is first called ?
Intuatively, I would have thought, it was created in the O object.

Which editior are you using

My head spinned the 1st time I watched, but I could I understand it in the 2nd run. Thanks!

Lmao i thought i had understood but then i read the comments and obviously i didn´t understand

Loving this video

Let me re-arrange some sections to make it a bit clearer and beginner friendly:


var o = {a: 1, b: 3};

function add(c, d) {
return this.a + this.b + c + d;
}

console.log(add.call(o, 5, 7));
console.log(add.apply(o, [10, 20]));


It's good practice to declare all your variables and values first before any functions and by doing this, it becomes easier to read.
Here we create an object with two properties which is "a and b". "a" set to 1 and "b" set to 3.
"this.a" and "this.b" is pointing to the properties of the variable "o".
apply and call are METHODS for the "this" keyword, think of them as attachments for your gun that enables it to do other stuff.
the rest should be self explanatory if you studied the basics well. If not, gotta go back to start, you might have missed a few lessons.

Let’s be real, Beau is an autistic boi who never got laid, that’s why hes a giga Chad penguin0 level coder. Yeah SURE he’s never said the N word EVER! And I’ve NEVER shite golden nuggets LMAO! 🤣 I’m Irish like LIKY!
