Question

Can anyone help me with what exactly the use of this keyword

Answer 1

The JavaScript "this" keyword refers to the object it belongs to.
It has different values depending on where it is used:

1) In a method, this refers to the owner object.

2) Alone, this refers to the global object.

3) In a function, this refers to the global object.

4) In a function, in strict mode, this is undefined.

5) In an event, this refers to the element that received the event.

6) Methods like call(), and apply() can refer this to any object.
