Hey all, having a hard time understanding this question. It seems dead easy but I don't know what its asking! "Write a new definition for the "button" mixin, which takes two arguments: $color and $size. The background should be set using the value in the $color variable, and the width should be set using the $size variable. The height should be half of the value in the $size variable."
This is what I've got
@mixin button { $color: #000; $size: 100px; background:$color; width: $size; height: $size / 2; }
.menu_button { @include button; }
Am I close???

The first part of the question should help... "Write a new definition for the "button" mixin, which takes two arguments: $color and $size". The mixin you have created does not take any arguments.
E.g. @mixin button($color, $size) { //rest of code here...}
Hope this helps.

@mixin button ($color,$size)
{
background:$color;
width:$size;
height:$size/2;
}
.menu_button{
@include button(#369,50px)
}
Button signifies the color and size. Notice that background =$color and width and height=$size below the button. So color and size are being read as those css properties. Hope this helps.
