/* The four rules for 'this';
* in your own words. explain the four rules for the "this" keyword below.
* 1.
* 2.
* 3.
* 4.
* 1. Globally scoped funtions => 'This' = the Window object
* 2. Chained function calls => 'This' = whatever is returned preceding the dot
* 3. Contructor Functions & Classes => 'This' = the specific instance of the object returned
* 4. Function Call, Apply, or Bind => 'This' = whatever is explicitly defined in the arguments
* write out a code example of each explanation above
