The Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor function enables users to retrieve comprehensive details regarding a property and provides a property descriptor for an own property (meaning one that is directly located on an object rather than being inherited from the object's prototype chain) of a specified object.
Syntax:
Example
bject.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(obj, prop)
Parameter
obj: This refers to the object in which the property is to be searched for.
Prop: This term refers to the designation of the property for which the description is intended to be obtained.
Return value:
It provides a property descriptor for the specified property if that property is present on the object.
