Deep Clone Object

mediumJS / TS

Problem Statement

Write a function `deepClone(obj)` that returns a deep copy of an object or array, handling primitives, nested objects, arrays, and dates without using `structuredClone` or `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj))`.

Examples

Example:
const original = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 } };
const copy = deepClone(original);
copy.b.c = 42;
console.log(original.b.c); // 2
