Question: "Define a "box" class. Use the "square" mixin to give it a height and width of 10px, and set the border to red."
I'm having trouble with this one too, and I have almost identical code. I feel like I've tried everything but I keep coming back to this.
@mixin square($size, $color: black) {
height: $size;
width: $size:
border: 1px solid $color;
}
.box {
@include square($size: 10px, $color: red);
}
I don't know any other way, is there any help?

.box {
@include square(10px, red);
}

You're welcome, good luck!

"@mixin square($size,$color:black;) { height:$size; width:$size; border:1px solid $color; } .box { @include square($size:10px,$color:red); height:$size; width:$size; border: 1px solid $color; }"

@mixin square($size, $color: black){ width: $size; height: $size; border: 1px solid $color; }
.box { @include square ($size: 10px, $color:red); }
