Both .call
and .apply
are used to invoke functions and the first parameter will be used as the value of this
within the function. However, .call
takes in comma-separated arguments as the next arguments while .apply
takes in an array of arguments as the next argument. An easy way to remember this is C for call
and comma-separated and A for apply
and an array of arguments.
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
console.log(add.call(null, 1, 2)); // 3
console.log(add.apply(null, [1, 2])); // 3
