### Problem Explanation:
We need to prevent `MATH_CONSTANTS` value from changing.
_You need to freeze the `MATH_CONSTANTS` object so that no one is able to alter the value of `PI`, add, or delete properties ._
## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 1
* Use Object.freeze(obj) to prevent object from being changed.
* _Use `Object.freeze()` to prevent mathematical constants from changing._

# Code Explanation:
By using Object.freeze() on `MATH_CONSTANTS` we can avoid manipulating it.
