CSS Sass Basics (retired) Advanced Sass Concepts Advanced Mixin Arguments

FORUM PLEASE HELP

Challenge Task 4 of 6

Switch the order of the arguments. Be sure to specify the variable for each argument, or you'll wind up with a height and width of red and a 1px solid 10px border! (Needless to say, that would be invalid.)

It just showing you that you can specify your arguments in any order... but if you do, you have to declare the variable and it's value in your @include.

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

that worked like a bomb THANKS
