Returns the prototype of an object.
Usage:
Object.getPrototypeOf(obj)Example:
const animal = {}
const dog = Object.create(animal)
const prot = Object.getPrototypeOf(dog)
animal === prot //trueIf the object has no prototype, we’ll get null. This is the case of the Object object:
Object.prototype //{}
Object.getPrototypeOf(Object.prototype) //null
