Code
It is also the "global" object in JavaScript. As such, any global variable that you define is accessible as a property of the window object. This can avoid unnecessary use of eval() to retrieve a global object/function for which the name is only available in the form a string.
E.g. ```
var myVariable = 23; function aFunction(paramA) { alert(myVariable); // 23 alert(window.myVariable); // 23 alert(window['myVariable']; // 23 if (typeof paramA === 'string') { alert(window[paramA]); // 23 if paramA is 'myVariable' } alert(eval('myVariable')); // 23, but much slower because the compiler has to kick in. if (typeof paramA === 'string') { alert(eval(paramA)); // 23 if paramA is 'myVariable' but again slower, and poses security risk. } }```
