Refer to javascript function from within itself

Question

Consider this piece of code

var crazy = function() {
    console.log(this);
    console.log(this.isCrazy); // wrong.
}
crazy.isCrazy = \'totally\';
crazy();
         


        

Answer 1

This has to deal with the scope of the function crazy. If can pass any scope to a function using the function call().

Instead of

crazy();

Use

crazy.call(crazy);
