Script Preparation code:

const foo = 5


var data = {
  property: foo
};



var method = {
  getProperty: function() {
    return foo;
  },

  setProperty: function(value) {
    property = value;
  }
};

var objectLiteralAccessor = {
  get property() {
    return foo;
  },
  set property(value) {
    property = value;
  }
};

function Class() {
}

Class.prototype = {
  get property() {
    return foo;
  },
  set property(value) {
    property = value;
  }
};
    
var prototypeAccessor = new Class();

var value = objectLiteralAccessor.property;
Write to object literal property
objectLiteralAccessor.property = true;
Read from object literal property on prototype
var value = prototypeAccessor.property;
Write to object literal property on prototype
