Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsHi Richard,
I recommend watching Sass Functions again to see how Hampton creates a function.
The important thing to remember about Sass functions is to always include a return statement. Here is an example that might help you get started.
@function areaRectangle($length, $width) {
@return $length * $width;
}

@function double($input) { @return $input * 2; }

1,301 PointsHi thanks for the replies. I managed to solve it but seem to be stuck on another challenge now, taken me so long it timed out on the 4th challenge and now I need to start again. Really struggling with this section of the track. It seems that the challenges don't really resemble the tutorials as much as I need them to.

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsWhich challenge are you stuck on? Sass Functions only has 3 tasks.

1,301 PointsI am stuck on the interpolating objectives now. I cheated and found some of the answers online but timed out and couldnt find them again. It starts with saying "create a scope......." He doesnt even mention scope in the video. I am right at the end of the track and am losing my focus
Robert Richey
Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsCreating a scope on an element is jargon for creating a new CSS rule for an element. Scope actually refers to the curly braces { } which defines the visibility of its content.
For example,
Open a scope on an <ul> with the ID menu.
ul#menu {
/* in the scope of the ul#menu element */
}
I agree with you that it could have been worded differently, and that he doesn't mention scope in the video. Hopefully this helped clarify the topic, allowing you to pass the challenge and move on.
Sass can be tricky, especially when also new to CSS. If you find yourself stuck again, don't hesitate to make a new forum post - more eyes will see it, getting you faster help. Also, the official documentation can be helpful when you know what you're looking for. Like, how to setup a @for loop.
Cheers

1,301 PointsI managed to get through the last few challenges by pasting the questions to google and cheating. It was either that or not move on. I am happy with everything else on the track and have learnt alot. I am starting the web development track now but going over the sections I have already done again just as a refresh
