Object.isExtensible() — Non-object argument

In ES5, if the argument to this method is not an object (a primitive), then it will cause a {{jsxref("TypeError")}}.

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). In ES5, if the argument to this method is not an object (a primitive), then it will cause a {{jsxref("TypeError")}}. In ES2015, it will return false without any errors if a non-object argument is passed, since primitives are, by definition, immutable. Attribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
