## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
As seen in the previous challenge, <code>const</code> declaration alone doesn't really protect your data from mutation. To ensure your data doesn't change, JavaScript provides a function <code>Object.freeze</code> to prevent data mutation.
|
|
Once the object is frozen, you can no longer add, update, or delete properties from it. Any attempt at changing the object will be rejected without an error.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
let obj = {
|
|
name:"FreeCodeCamp",
|
|
review:"Awesome"
|
|
};
|
|
Object.freeze(obj);
|
|
obj.review = "bad"; // will be ignored. Mutation not allowed
|
|
obj.newProp = "Test"; // will be ignored. Mutation not allowed
|
|
console.log(obj);
|
|
// { name: "FreeCodeCamp", review:"Awesome"}
|
|
```

## Instructions
|
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
|
In this challenge you are going to use <code>Object.freeze</code> to prevent mathematical constants from changing. You need to freeze the <code>MATH_CONSTANTS</code> object so that no one is able to alter the value of <code>PI</code>, add, or delete properties.

## Tests
|
|
<section id='tests'>
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
tests:
|
|
- text: You should not replace <code>const</code> keyword.
|
|
testString: getUserInput => assert(getUserInput('index').match(/const/g));
|
|
- text: <code>MATH_CONSTANTS</code> should be a constant variable (by using <code>const</code>).
|
|
testString: getUserInput => assert(getUserInput('index').match(/const\s+MATH_CONSTANTS/g));
|
|
- text: You should not change original <code>MATH_CONSTANTS</code>.
|
|
testString: getUserInput => assert(getUserInput('index').match(/const\s+MATH_CONSTANTS\s+=\s+{\s+PI:\s+3.14\s+};/g));
|
|
- text: <code>PI</code> should equal <code>3.14</code>.
|
|
testString: assert(PI === 3.14);
|
|
|
|
```
