JavaScript Functions

I can explain the difference between function declarations and function expressions.

Yes vars are expressions and regular functions are delcaration!!!

I can explain what the value of this is in a normal function.

normally it's the window or the global objec

I can explain what the value of this is when called from the context of an object.

if in an object it will be whatever that object is

In the context of Node, what is a module? A module is sort of like a file, it stores a JS file.
The code examples from the second blog post look very different from the first. Why? The second blog post uses requireJS,

Which sections were interesting?

As a beginner I really like the idea of breaking out the funtions into a variable so that your code looks clean. I think I read about if first here but I really enjoy the function aspect and calling a variable that you have defined elsewhere.

Which sections did you totally skim?

I skimmed objects and inheritance as there was a lot of reading and got harder at the end.

Do you think the reading was valuable?

I think the reading was super valuable, I will probably read read it from time to time.

Which topics were notably confusing?

My Code

Responder(1) here Greg's code is way better than mine, he uses an awesome return value and boolean logic so that he only needs one line of code.

Responder(2) here This guy really did an interesting way, he did something similar to Greg but broke out his code into a lot of different fuctions.

Array Prototype Methods

I understand that functions in JavaScript can take any number of arguments. Check I can describe the similarity between blocks in Ruby and anonymous functions in JavaScript. Anonymous functions I guess are the functions that act like Ruby blocks?

Where are the methods available to all arrays (e.g. forEach, map, etc.) defined? Mozilla Developer Network docs
