““Math is not a constructor, or even a function. It’s an object. As you know, Math is a built-in object that you can use to do things like get the value of pi (with Math.PI) or generate a random number (with Math.random). Think of Math as just like an object literal that has a bunch of useful properties and methods in it, built-in for you to use whenever you write JavaScript code. It just happens to have a capital first letter to let you know that it’s built-in to JavaScript.””
