This method checks if we can add new properties to an object.

Any object is extensible, unless it’s been used as an argument to

• Object.freeze()
• Object.seal()
• Object.preventExtensions()

Usage:

const dog = {}
Object.isExtensible(dog) //true

const cat = {}
Object.freeze(cat)
Object.isExtensible(cat) //false
