Episode notes

Call apply and ind are used to take a function and either run it or prap it with certain arguments. Apply is the exact same thing, but takes an array of values instead of multiple arguments. bind is the same thing as call, but instead of running the function immediately, it will return a loaded function. It's not actually run until you explicitly go and run it with parentheses on the end.

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott ask each other hiring questions asked of JavaScript developers in job interviews.
