Yellow Cedar is found only on the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to southern Oregon and is the hardest known cedar in the world. Considered the crown jewel around boat builders, it has exceptional resistance to weather and insects.

In mathematics, a function is defined as a relationship between defined values and one or more variables. For example, a simple math function may be: y = 2x. In this example, the relationship of y to x is that y is twice as much as the value assigned to x. While math functions can be far more complex than this, most are simple relative to functions used in computer programming. This may be why math functions are often referred to as expressions, while computer functions are often called procedures or subroutines. Computer functions are similar to math functions in that they may reference parameters, which are passed, or input into the function. If the example above were written as a computer function, x would be the input parameter and y would be the resulting output value. It might look something like this: function double(x) { $y = 2 * x; return $y;}
