Modern JavaScript from the Beginning - Second Edition - The Call Stack

The video tutorial explains the concept of the call stack in JavaScript, highlighting its role in managing function execution contexts. It covers the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle and demonstrates how functions are pushed and popped from the stack. Two code examples illustrate the call stack's behavior with both global and nested function calls. The tutorial also shows how to use browser debugging tools to visualize the call stack, providing a practical understanding of its operation.
