# Day 1 Prework
1. On a website, what is the purpose of HTML code? HTML code provides the structure for a website and organizes the content you want to display through grouping or hierarchy. 
2. What is the difference between an element and a tag? An element is part of html structure. It tells us how the content is being organized. It's usually made up of an opening and closing tag. The tag acts as a container for the actual content.
3. Why do we use attributes in HTML elements? Attributes allow us to provide more information about a website's content without muddying up the structure. 
4. Describe the purpose of the head, title, and body HTML elements. The body element contains all information displayed within the browser window. The head element contains information about the website that is not meant to be displayed, and also contains the title element. The title element displays the title of your webpage in the title bar or tabs.
5. In your browser (Chrome), how do you view the source of a website? From t

# 29 Behaviors that Make You an Unstoppable Programmer
Pick out 3 behaviors that resonate with you in the list and describe why they resonate with you in a reflection (4-6 sentences).
11. Take responsibility for your mistakes. 
This resonates with me because I've had to learn to do this in my personal as well as professional life. In my communal living situation, admitting when you've messed up and apologizing are crucial to a harmonious living environment. 
In the restaurant industry (my previous career), no one will respect you or take you seriously unless you can admit you were wrong about something. Admitting your mistakes shows people that you realize you are a fallible human and makes you more relatable, 
but it also shows people that your main goal is not to keep your reputation in tact or to appear flawless, but it is to continue learning and improving on your techniques.
15. Don't count the number of hours.
I interpreted this behavior as being self-aware and knowing when to conserve energy. As an int

##### Challenge 1

I did not hardcode position the first div because it will land in top left by default. I made a separate div to contain the other two and positioned it absolutely to the top right of the page. I made it big enough to hold the two original divs with some space in between. I floated divs two and three left and right respectively. I did it this way because I thought the page would be more responsive, and it will keep divs 2 and 3 from overlapping as the page changes sizes.

##### Challenge 2

I did not hardcode position the first div because it will land in top left by default. I positioned the other two divs absolutely. The top position is in pixels so that they will always line up vertically no matter how big or small the page is. The left/right position is in a percentage so that they will all maintain their horizontal position in relation to each other no matter how the page is sized.
