Use the "lime" variable to set the color of every link/anchor tag on the site.

I keep getting this error message:

Bummer! There's something wrong with your Sass stylesheet. Please review your code and try again. Sass Error: Invalid CSS after "a ": expected selector or at-rule, was "{"

Here is my code:

/* Write your SCSS code below. */
$lime: #090

a {
color: $lime;
}

The answer to your problem is a simple one, but probably the issue that most commonly plagues developers around the world. You simply forgot a semicolon after defining your variable. This should work:

// Notice the ; at the end of the next line
$lime: #090;

a {
color: $lime;
}
