The call() method calls a function with a given
this value and arguments provided individually.
The apply() method calls a function with a given
this value, and arguments provided as
an array
The bind() method creates a new function that, when called, has
its
this keyword set
to the provided value, with a given sequence of arguments preceding any
provided when the new function is called.
While the syntax of this function is almost
identical to that of
apply(), the fundamental difference is that call() accepts an argument list, while apply() accepts a single array of arguments.
The difference is that
apply lets you invoke the function with arguments as an array; callrequires the
parameters be listed explicitly. A useful mnemonic is "A for array and C for comma."
Pseudo syntax:
theFunction.apply(valueForThis, arrayOfArgs)
theFunction.call(valueForThis, arg1, arg2, ...)
Use
.bind() when you want that
function to later be called with a certain context, useful in events. Use .call() or .apply() when
you want to invoke the function immediately, and modify the context.

bind returns
a function that, when later executed, will have the correct context set for
calling the original function. This way you can maintain context in async
callbacks and events.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/call
