Make sure to use constants & methods from Math class only and all non-integer numerical literals are suffixed w/ `d`: ⚠

[Docs.Oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Math.html](http://Docs.Oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Math.html)

- `TAU` → `2 * Math.PI`
- `cos(PI)` → `Math.cos(Math.PI)`
- `-5.4` → `-5.4d`
- `1e3` → `1e3d`
