Can't solve: Sass variables

Hey, I am really new to Sass and basic programming, but i can't seem the code to work... Tried some thing to get it work. But I am missing something.

Could someone help me with the code.

Thanks in advance.

Underneath the previous code, store the value "morning" in a variable named $time. Then write an if/else directive that will color all <a> tags. If the variable $time is equal to "morning", the color should be red. Otherwise, if the variable is "afternoon", the color should be blue. Finally, if the variable is set to anything else, the color should be gray.

@mixin morning($time) { @if $time == morning{ a { color: red;} } @else if $time == afternoon { a { color: blue;} } @else { a { color: gray;} } }

have you defined the variable $time before the if/else statement? $time: morning;

I did now, thanks, solved the exercise

Are you sure you should use the a tag? It says it should color all tags so maybe it should be applied to the body element? I don't know what the previous question was so I might be wrong, but it says all tags...

Yes i rewrite my code and it worked :)... i deleted all a {} and under the if/else, I wrote

```a { @include time(morning); }
