/**
 * You can use this `get` function to retrieve a nested property from an object by chaining
 * the keys with dots in the `path` parameter. For example:
 * ```typescript
 * const obj = {
 *   foo: {
 *     bar: {
 *       baz: 'Hello, World!'
 *     }
 *   }
 * };
 *
 * console.log(get(obj, 'foo.bar.baz'));                // Output: 'Hello, World!'
 * console.log(get(obj, 'foo.bar.baz', 'Default'));     // Output: 'Hello, World!'
 * console.log(get(obj, 'foo.bar.qux', 'Default'));     // Output: 'Default'
 * ```
 * @param obj the object to retrieve the nested property from
 * @param path the path to the nested property
 * @param defaultValue the default value to return if the nested property does not exist
 * @returns the nested property if it exists, otherwise the default value
 */
