A polyfill is a piece of code that implements a feature in a browser that does not support it natively. It ensures compatibility with older browsers.
Example: A polyfill for Array.prototype.includes:
if (!Array.prototype.includes) {
Array.prototype.includes = function(element) {
return this.indexOf(element) !== -1;
};
