This value not returned the variable itself in JS

[Pranab]

I have a function,

function pranab(){
  return this;
}
var obj = pranab;
console.log(obj()); //Window object

but if i create a object and assign this function inside this object, the,

var obj = {
  name: pranab
}
console.log(obj.name());//the object itself

So, here what’s the deal with variable?Why variable not return the variable itself as a result.

I’m seeing it return the object property (it’s not a variable) itself.

Edit – hmm… in Opera, not Firefox. That is odd. But from my limited knowledge about closures I would expect it to return the parent object anyway.
