How to get the vertex coordinates of a feature in ArcPy

Get the vertices of each polygon in the polygon feature layer

Data structure of polygon feature layer

--Layer class (arcpy._mp.Layer) SHAPE @ ┐ --Polygon class (arcpy.arcobjects.geometries.Polygon) getPart () ┐ --Array class (arcpy.arcobjects.arcobjects.Array) getObject (0) ┐ --Array class (arcpy.arcobjects.arcobjects.Array) getObject (i) ┐ --Point class (arcpy.arcobjects.arcobjects.Point)

Python code
