I get the error "You need to define a $time variable and set its value to: morning".

I put down:

@mixin cars($make, $color) { .#{$make} { border: 1px solid black;
background-image: url("#{$color}.png");
} } @mixin daytime($time) {
@if $time == morning { color: red; } @else if $time == afternoon { color: blue; } @else { color: grey; } } a { @include daytime(morning); }

I tested this with a Sass compiler and I do get this in .css:

a { color: red; }

Hi,

First of all your code is correct, but the treehouse compiler have not expected your solution, so try to make the condition without the mixin "daytime" because its not included in the question, in addtion just before your condition if/else try to put $time: morning;

I have tested your code in sassmeister !
