When a method is called, “this” is referring to the object that is provoking the method.

For example: Here we have an object called “myperson”, and inside it is a method called “greeting”. When we run the run this code, “this”, will refer to my person.

	var myperson = {
		name: "Mark",
		greeting: function () {
				console.log("Hello my name is " + this.name)
			}			
		}
				
		console.log(myperson.greeting());

Therefore console log will return “Hello my name is Mark”.
