Question 1

Cascading relates to specificity because it means that this rule applies to all selectors that this
style specifies. Sometimes, however, an HTML element may be described by more than one CSS selector.
In this case, the cascading effect follows a rule of specificity; the most specific stylistic rule is
applied while the others are ignored, though will still apply to any element to which they ARE most
specific.

Question 2

// A function which returns an array of ints from 0 to 'n', which is provided as a parameter
function arrayOfLight(n) {
  var arr = [];
  for (var i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
    arr[i] = i;
  }
  return arr;
}

# Filename: poppin-bottles.rb
# Author: michael longauer
#
# Concept:
# - For every two empty bottles, you can get one free (full) bottle of pop
# - For every four bottle caps, you can get one free (full) bottle of pop
# - Each bottle of pop costs $2 to purchase
# - Given these parameters, write a program so that you can figure out how many total
#   bottles of pop can be redeemed given a customer investment.

# Concept:
# - Signs cost $15 per square foot.
# - If a sign has two colours or fewer, add $10 for each colour.
# - If a sign has more than two colours, add $15 for each colour.
# - Tax is 15%.
# - The boss insists that he just wants one function that he can put the dimensions 
#   and colour count in, and get the total back.

@tax = 0.15
