challenge: Design a mixin (called "rainbow") that can take any number of colors via the argument $colors.... Within the mixin, use the loop @each $color in $colors to create a class named after each color, and set its background to the corresponding color.
My answer:
$color: black;
@mixin square ($size, $color){
height: $size;
width: $size;
border: 1px solid $color;
}
.box {
@include square($color: red, $size: 10px);
}
$colors: blue;
@mixin rainbow ($colors....) {
@each $colors in $colors {
.#($colors) {background-color:$colors;}
}
}
Error: Bummer! You should use the value in $color as the name of a new class within the mixin

try this
@mixin rainbow($colors...) {
@each $color in $colors {
.#{$color} {
background: $color;
}
}
}
remember your calling a single color in colors

42,478 PointsNo worries I did the same thing on this course, its just one of those things you have to remembers singulars and plurals. Sass is complicated and I will likely redo the entire course just to get a better grasp on it, because while complicated Sass and LESS both have exponential power when handling CSS. In my opinion CSS should have been more logic oriented from the start. Maybe in CSS 4 and beyond we'll see some of this.
