bind(), call(), and apply()

Why is apply() used in this debounce implementation?

function debounce(func, wait) {
  let timeout;
  return function executedFunction() {
    const context = this;
    const args = arguments;
    clearTimeout(timeout);
    timeout = setTimeout(function() {
      func.apply(context, args);
    }, wait);
  };
}

To improve performance
To handle multiple arguments correctly
apply() is used here because: 1) Preserves original function's context captured in closure, 2) Passes all arguments correctly to delayed function, 3) Maintains function's expected behavior with any number of arguments, 4) Works with methods that expect specific this binding, 5) Common pattern in utility functions like debounce and throttle, 6) Ensures proper argument handling in asynchronous execution.
To create a timeout
To clear the timeout
