📖 Rule Details

This rule aims to enforce the use of Math.SQRT2 instead of other ways to calculate the square root of 2.

Math.SQRT2 provides several advantages over manual calculations:

  • Clarity of intent: Immediately obvious that you're using √2
  • Precision: Provides the most accurate representation available in JavaScript
  • Performance: Direct constant access instead of function call overhead
  • Mathematical significance: Represents a fundamental irrational constant
  • Readability: More expressive than complex calculations
