Improved code readability and code quality (#4663)

* Fixed Small typos :-)

* Update BufferedReader.java

* Made the following changes :

* Improved readability of files and removed gramatical errors.

* Implemented data assigning instead of manually calling arr.ylength in several instances like FindMax, FindMaxRecursion etc.

* Removed unwanted params from several files

* Implemented Math methods in files math/FindMinRecursion.java and FindMaxRecursion.java

* Update src/main/java/com/thealgorithms/maths/FindMinRecursion.java
