Context with this and bind

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind 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.

   1 /*Constructor function*/
   2 function Counter(){     
   3   this.counter=0;
   4 }
   5 
   6 Counter.prototype.run=function(){
   7   console.log('counter:',this.counter);
   8   this.counter++;
   9   //recall run
  10   setTimeout(this.run.bind(this),1000);
  11 };
  12 
  13 var c = new Counter();
  14 setTimeout( c.run.bind(c) ,1000); // apply context of c to this
