The 'this' keyword in JavaScript is crucial for referencing the execution context of functions, enabling object-oriented programming. It varies in global scope, object methods, constructors, and with arrow functions. Understanding 'this' is vital for manipulating object properties, handling events, and implementing inheritance in prototypes and classes.

'This' is used to refer to the instance of the class when working within class methods in JavaScript
The 'call' and 'apply' methods can be used to explicitly set 'this' in function calls, allowing for more flexibility and reusability in JavaScript

Context of 'this' in method call
'this' refers to the object owning the method, accessing object's properties/methods.
01
Runtime determination of 'this'
Value of 'this' is set when function is invoked, not at definition.
02
Function's 'owner' concept
'this' points to the function's 'owner' object, not the function itself.
