Sass Mixins Bummer -> "The height should be half the size variable."

Code challange - Stage 2 "Variables, Mixins, and Extending"

The height should be half the size variable.

@mixin button($size){ height: $size * 0.5; }

I've got "Bummer". Why ?

Cheers S

Just a hint:

You use "*" to multiply.

Its asking for a half :)

Hmm, it seems like the challenge is asking for a bit more than just $size as an argument. Seems like it wants $color, too (unless I'm looking at the wrong challenge) This code worked for me:

@mixin button($color, $size){ height: $size / 2; width: $size; background: $color; }

But the whole point of this is to actually understand and help others to understand what is going on instead of giving away the solution...

Absolutely. However, in his case, it seems to be an error in the Code Challenge engine; * 0.5 is the same as / 2.

@Juan And it gets it :) @Matthew Yeach but I just wrote the part where I have a problem. Cheers, $size / 2; works for me but it's the same output as $size * 0,5;
