Parameter Mixin in Sass

Create a rule that targets the class box. Use the square mixin to set the height and width of .box to 50px and the border color to red.

style.scss 
@mixin square($size, $color) {
  $color: black;
  height: $size;
  width: $size;
  border: 1px solid $color;
}

.box {
  @include square(50px, red);
}

/* default values for arguments should be declared within the mixin's parameters */
@mixin square($size, $color: black) {
  height: $size;
  width: $size;
  border: 1px solid $color;
}

.box {
  @include square(50px, red);
}

Happy coding ＼(^-^)／

@mixin square ($size, $color: black) { height: $size; width: $size; border: 1px solid $color; };

.box { @include square($size: 50px, $color: red); }
