macOS [AppleScript] Check what application is running in the foreground

[Amad3U5]

I want to write an AppleScript that will force-quit the application running in the fore-ground (i.e the application in the status bar).

How can I use AppleScript to determine what that application is?

 

[bumper314]

tell application "System Events"
	processes whose frontmost is true
end

Just expanding on what bumper314 has posted.

tell application "System Events"
	set frontmostApp to name of application processes whose frontmost is true
	tell application frontmostApp
		quit
	end tell
end tell

This wont work in Applescript Editor, as Applescript editor will be the fronmost app, and will still be processing and running the script, so will only work when the script is compiled.
