Problem: Make sure you return '$target' divided by '$context'.
My answer:
$base-font-size: 16px;
// Write your function here
@function px-to-rem($target, $context: $base-font-size) {
@return($target / $context) * 1rem;
}
?? :(
$base-font-size: 16px;
// Write your function here
@function px-to-rem($target, $context: $base-font-size) {
@return($target / $context) * 1rem;
}

@function px-to-rem($target, $context: $base-font-size) {
@return $target/$context * 1rem;
}

17,074 PointsWhy is this the case? Removing the parenthesis, I mean.. The video shows the @return with parenthesis, and it sounds like Kristian Woods had a working answer with the same code that the OP had.. Is this a treehouse thing, or is it correct syntax to remove parenthesis after certain conditions..?
I also couldn't make it work until I removed the parenthesis, which I understand but also don't know WHY removing them was the last step needed.

I can't see a difference in our code.
sometimes you just need to refresh the page

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 12,958 Pointsthe top code is right. and just leave a space after @return as Niels said. it works for me. but if it is still doesn't work. just leave it. sometimes, computer, treehouse system has issue.
// Write your function here
@function px-to-rem($target, $context:$base-font-size){ @return ($target/$context)*1rem; }
