...Personally, my favorite constellation is a tossup between Orion and Scorpius, however I must admit the myth behind the Orion constellation is incredibly interesting, allowing it to come first as my favorite constellation. Honestly, Scorpius is one of my favorites purely based on the fact that I myself am a Scorpio. I chose Orion as my favorite constellation because the history behind this constellation is so fascinating. This constellation was named after a great Greek hunter and bowman. The most prominent stars in this constellation are Alnilam, Mintaka and Alnitak. These three stars form Orion’s belt, as well as Bellatrix at his left shoulder and Betelgeuse at his right. As many would know, Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black was a notoriously dark witch who served side by side with Voldemort, the darkest wizard of this time and age. The Blacks were known to name their children after stars, and Bellatrix was no exception. According to Greek mythology, Orion was the son of Poseidon, gifted with the ability to walk on water. He was blinded at an early age and went to search for a cure, eventually finding one with the help of one of Hephaestus’ men and a sun god. After his sight was restored, he retired to the island of Delos and became a skilled archer. He was so talented he caught the eye of the goddess of hunt, Artemis. He soon became her favorite, and they would often go on hunts together, slaying monstrous beasts. He desired to marry the goddess, however Apollo disapproved as Artemis...

...area in square feet of a house. Assume that the house has a maximum of four rooms, and that each room is rectangular. Program Description The purpose of this program is to calculate the usable area (square feet) of a four room house. Analysis To calculate the usable area in square feet in the house I would first need to identify the inputs and outputs. I know the house has a maximum of 4 rooms that are rectangular in shape, this is my input. Using the area formula (L x W) I can determine the square feet for each room. Adding the square feet for each room will provide the amount of usable area in square feet of the house and my output for this program.

The action is conditionally executed because it is performed only when a certain condition is true. 2. Using the IF statement will be the way to go because it is a dual alternative decision structure. 3. The case structure would be the most straightforward to use. 4. The and operator takes two Boolean expressions as operands and creates a compound Boolean expression that is true only when both sub-expressions are true. 5. The OR operator takes two Boolean expressions as operands and create a compound Boolean expression that is true when either of the sub-expressions are true. 6. The And operator 7.
