2693. Call Function with Custom Context
Medium
30 Points
Enhance all functions to have the callPolyfill method. The method accepts an object obj as its first parameter and any number of additional arguments. The obj becomes the this context for the function. The additional arguments are passed to the function (that the callPolyfill method belongs on).
For example if you had the function:
Calling this function like tax(10, 0.1) will log "The cost of undefined is 11". This is because the this context was not defined.
However, calling the function like tax.callPolyfill({item: "salad"}, 10, 0.1) will log "The cost of salad is 11". The this context was appropriately set, and the function logged an appropriate output.
Please solve this without using the built-in Function.call method.
Examples
Example 1
function tax(price, taxRate) {
const totalCost = price * (1 + taxRate);
console.log(`The cost of ${this.item} is ${totalCost}`);
}
Example 2
Input:
fn = function add(b) {
return this.a + b;
}
args = [{"a": 5}, 7]
Output: 12
Explanation:
fn.callPolyfill({"a": 5}, 7); // 12
callPolyfill sets the "this" context to {"a": 5}. 7 is passed as an argument.
Example 3
Input:
fn = function tax(price, taxRate) {
return `The cost of the ${this.item} is ${price * taxRate}`;
}
args = [{"item": "burger"}, 10, 1.1]
Output: "The cost of the burger is 11"
Explanation: callPolyfill sets the "this" context to {"item": "burger"}. 10 and 1.1 are passed as additional arguments.
Constraints
typeof args[0] == 'object' and args[0] != null
1 <= args.length <= 100
2 <= JSON.stringify(args[0]).length <= 105
