javascript typeof(this) in function output object not FUNCTION type

the javascript code like below:

function aa(){
    console.log(typeof(this))
}

console.log(typeof(aa))

aa()

the output is function and object after running this code.

so why the code output difference type?

thanks in advance!

During the execution of a function that has been called without passing a context this is bound the the global window object of the browser.

this is never the function object itself, unless you pass that explicitly with call or apply.

The output of

function f(){console.log(typeof this);}
f.call(f);

will be function.
