Why the math object letter is caps?

When I create an object, I always start with lowercase, and I see many do the same. 
Should I start with uppercase when I create an object?

It depends on your preference, some people like to start with uppercase others with lowercase.
if it's just 1 word I just use the lowercase,
if it's more than 1 word, I usually camelCase it

Hi there, msdsmd sm,dfsadf! JavaScript, in general, has the convention of defining built-in objects with uppercase letters. Not only is that true of Math, it is also true of Array, Date, Error and many many more.

I'd suggest taking a look at the standard Global Objects defined by JavaScript.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
