this keyword

this keyword

The this keyword is used in object costructors. Unlike literal objects, objects constructors are only templates.

Sometimes, we need to create multiple objects of a single type. The standard way to create an "object type" is to use an object constructor function.

The above function (player) is an object constructor, which takes parameters and assigns them to the object properties.

The this keyword refers to the current object. It serves as a placeholder for a new object's name.

Once you have an object constructor, you can use the new keyword to create new objects of the same type.
