Convert the following @each loop from using the nth()

Hi All,

Need a helping hand with this challenge from Advanced Sass please.

Q. Convert the following @each loop from using the nth() function to using a complex list with assigned variables.

Here is original code:

$teams: (GreenBay Packers green yellow) (Seattle Seahawks blue green) (Chicago Bears blue orange);

@each $team in $teams {
  .#{to-lower-case(nth($team, 1))} {
    background-color: nth($team, 3);
    border: 1px solid nth($team, 4);
    &:after {
      content: 'Your' + ' ' + nth($team, 1) + ' ' + nth($team, 2);
      color: nth($team, 4);
    }
  }
}

Here is my code:

$teams: (GreenBay Packers green yellow) (Seattle Seahawks blue green) (Chicago Bears blue orange);

@each $name, $named, $color, $border in $teams {
  .#{to-lower-case $name} {
    background-color: $color;
    border: 1px solid $border;
    &:after {
      content: 'Your' + ' ' + $name + ' ' + $named;
      color: $border;  /* I have also tried $color here */
    }
  }
}

I'm getting the reply…
Bummer! The background-color for .greenbay should be green.

Any clues?

Thanx

Hi Wayne, I think the problem lies here .#{to-lower-case $name}
the function needs parenthesis .#{to-lower-case($name)} :) Let me know if you still have issues.

Gloria, your a star :)

I had tried .#{to-lower-case ($name)} and it hadn't worked (i had a space after -case)

Thanks again.
