Solution

What will be logged to the console when this code executes?

window.name = "Mike Tyson";

const me = {
  name: "Tyler",
  sayName() {
    console.log(this.name);
  },
};

const sayName = me.sayName;
sayName();

The answer? “Mike Tyson”.

Since we’re not in strict mode, sayName isn’t a method, and we’re not using call or apply, this inside of sayName will default to the window object.
