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

const numbers = [1, 5, 2, 8, 3];
const max = Math.max.apply(null, numbers);
console.log(max);

To make the code faster
To spread array elements as arguments
apply() is used here to spread array elements: 1) Math.max expects separate arguments, not an array, 2) apply() spreads array elements into individual arguments, 3) Equivalent to Math.max(...numbers) in modern JavaScript, 4) null is used as this context since Math.max doesn't use this, 5) Common pattern for variadic functions that don't accept arrays, 6) Historical solution before spread operator became available.
