Cannot pass the Task 4/6

Task 4/6 where I need to switch arguments to make the code invalid in the last exercise is not working :(

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

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

Hey Sergey,

In order to switch the arguments, you need to make sure you're specifying which variable you want to assign the value to. Otherwise, you'd be assigning red to the $size variable and 10px to $color variable, which would make the code fail.

Try this:

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

.box {
  @include square($color: red, $size: 10px);
}
