Calling function with window scope explanation (0, function(){})()

by

If you write multiple expressions separated by a comma (,), then all expressions will be evaluated, but you will end up with the value of the last expression:

var x = (1,2,3);
console.log(x); // this will log "3"

Now (0,c.d) is an expression that will return the function c.d, but now c is not the this of the function anymore. This means that this will point to the global object (window), or remain undefined in strict mode. You would get the same effect with any of these:

var f = function(x) { return x; };
f(c.d)();

Or just

var f = c.d;
f();
