apply vs call code example

Example 1: call() vs apply() vs bind()

Differentce between .bind() , .call() and .apply()

.bind(someobj) -> does not invoke the function, it just allows you to 
bind whatever object you want, you have to call the function yourself.

.call(someobj) and .apply(someobj)-> both invoke the function 
immediately,and modify the context. 
The only difference is how you pass your
own arguments. See below

.call(someobj, param1, param2)
.apply(someobj, [param1, param2]) //uses array to pass the args

Example 2: javascript call() & apply() vs bind()?

}

say.call(person2, 'Hello'); // Hello Kelly King

}

say.apply(person1, ['Hello']); // Hello Jon Kuperman
say.apply(person2, ['Hello']); // Hello Kelly King
