Deep freezes an object.
- Use `Object.keys()` to get all the properties of the passed object, `Array.prototype.forEach()` to iterate over them.
- Call `Object.freeze(obj)` recursively on all properties, applying `deepFreeze()` as necessary.
- Finally, use `Object.freeze()` to freeze the given object.
```js
const deepFreeze = obj => {
Object.keys(obj).forEach(prop => {
if (typeof obj[prop] === 'object') deepFreeze(obj[prop]);
});
return Object.freeze(obj);
};
```
```js
'use strict';
const val = deepFreeze([1, [2, 3]]);
val[0] = 3; // not allowed
val[1][0] = 4; // not allowed as well
```
