This provides two solutions in JS and also aims to cover some edge cases not immediate shown in the prompt
For JS the language limits this to work accurately only if the incoming container is a plan JavaScript Object
{}if it were an Array or set it would not be able to meet the criteria of mutating the original object in place without there being relics such as empty items in the beginning of the array. This is why I added validation to ensure that the incoming container was an object.I also covered edge cases for when arrays and objects are nested within one another, Date Objects, null and undefined values. as well as when those are nested. Thank you this was fun!
