How to access a JavaScript object using its own prototype?
We can able to access the existing object by creating its own prototype using a javascript method called "Object.create()". Using this method we can inherit the properties from the existing properties to the newly created prototype. Let's discuss it in a nutshell.

Object.create(existing obj);
This method takes the existing object and creates its own prototype so that the properties will be inherited from the existing object to the newly created prototype.

<script>
var person = {
