Solution Guide: Execution Context

Approach

Demonstrate the execution context stack by nesting function calls three levels deep. Each call creates a new execution context pushed onto the call stack, and each return pops it. Inner functions access outer variables through the scope chain attached to their execution context.

Execution Context Stack

Every function invocation creates an execution context with its own variable environment and scope chain. The call stack tracks which context is active, enabling JavaScript to resume the caller after the callee returns.
