Listing shows how window relates to the global object in browsers. Listing The global object and window var global this TestCase GlobalObjectTest test window should be global object function assertSame global window assertSame window assertSame window In the global scope the global object is used as the variable object meaning that declaring variables using the var keyword results in corresponding properties on the global object. In other words the two assignments in Listing are almost equivalent. Listing Assigning properties on the global object var assert function . function . These two statements are not fully equivalent because the variable declaration is hoisted whereas the property assignment is not. The Scope Chain Whenever a function is called control enters a new execution context. This is even true for recursive calls to a function. As we ve seen the activation object is used for identifier resolution inside the function. In fact identifier resolution occurs through the scope chain which starts with the activation object of the current execution context. At the end of the scope chain is the global object. Consider the simple function in Listing . Calling it with a number results in a function that when called adds that number to its argument. Listing A function that returns another function function adder base return function num Download from 84 Functions return base num Listing uses adder to create incrementing and decrementing functions. Listing Incrementing and decrementing functions TestCase AdderTest test should add or subtract one from arg function var inc adder l var dec adder -l assertEquals 3 inc 2 assertEquals 3 dec 4 assertEquals 3 inc dec 3 The scope chain for the inc method contains its own .
