Hello Christopher,

naming conventions are conventions meaning they do have some semantic value but are not as strict as a language specification.

There is a similar question on stackoverlow and a more detailed style guide by google.

Feel free to check them out !

Math.round() was a built-in object function of javascript.

Not sure if his question had more info before it was edited to have only the text "g", if it was then disregard this reply. I am not sure if your response was meant to indicate that "only" Math.round was a built in object? Because both "document.write" & "Math.round" are built in objects:

document.write is a built in object part of the Document Object Model.

Math.round is a built in object part of the Global Javascript Objects.
