The main difference is:
apply lets you invoke the function with arguments as an array.
call requires the parameters be listed explicitly.
syntax:
theFunction.apply(valueForThis, arrayOfArgs)
theFunction.call(valueForThis, arg1, arg2, ...)
Sample code:
function theFunction(name, profession) {
alert("My name is " + name + " and I am a " + profession + ".");
}
theFunction("John", "fireman");
theFunction.apply(undefined, ["Susan", "school teacher"]);
theFunction.call(undefined, "Claude", "mathematician");
