/* The four rules for 'this';
* in your own words. explain the four rules for the "this" keyword below.
* 1.
* 2.
* 3.
* 4.
* 1. In the global scope, `this` referes to the `window` object.
* 2. Whenever a function is called, the object preceeding the dot is the `this` scope
* 3. When an object is being created, `this` refers to the instance of the object that will be returned
* 4. When you use call/apply/bind, you specify the `this` scope for the function to execute in
* write out a code example of each explanation above

// First Rule
let bob = function() { console.log(this); return 'Bob' };
// Window {stop: function, open: function, alert: function, confirm: function, prompt: function…}

// Second Rule

this.getType = function() { return type };
this.getColor = () => color;
}

console.log(this);

}

const apple = new Fruit("Apple", "Red");
apple.message();
// Fruit {getType: function, getColor: function}
// "I am a Red Apple"

// Third Rule
// `this` in the Fruit class above is referencing `apple` during `apple`'s creation

// Fourth Rule * you may want to use your third rule's example to accomplish this
const orange = new Fruit("Orange", "Orange");
let fruitMessage = apple.message;

// explain closure
// closure is a way for a function to hold onto an object created outside of it's
// scope even when that object normally would've been deleted as nothing
// would've been able to access it if it wasn't for that function

// explain closure

function foo () {
console.log(this); // what does this point to?
// `this` points to `window` because a new object isn't being created and
// foo is in the global scope.

// this code is broken. figure out why, and tell us where the closure is when you fix it
