In programming, context refers to the situation or environment in which your code runs. It affects how your code behaves and what it can access. For example:

Execution Context#

This is like the current setup when a piece of code runs. It includes things like what variables are available and the value of certain keywords like this in JavaScript.

Scope Context#

This is the area where certain variables or functions are accessible. For example, a variable inside a function can’t be seen outside that function because it’s in a different scope or context.
