/* The four rules for 'this';
* in your own words. explain the four rules for the "this" keyword below.
* 1.
* 2.
* 3.
* 4.
* 1. When a function is contained in the global scope, the value of this will be the global object.
* 2. Whenever a function is called with a dot, this is the object before the dot.
* 3. Whenever a constructor function is used, this refers to the instance of object that was created.
* 4. Whenever call, apply, or bind is used, this is explicitly defined by the params.
* write out a code example of each explanation above
