CSS Modular CSS with Sass Getting Modular with Mixins and Functions Pixels to Em Function

when using a calculation function within Sass, how can we set the significant digit of the output value?

I am getting output values out to 12 decimal places. I may have missed something...

h1 { font-weight: 300; font-size: 2.625em; line-height: 1.0952380952; margin-bottom: 1.6666666667em; }

This is correct :) Why does it matter how many digits the output has?

Hello, Robert i think your problem is with missing em's in your code. This si your code:

h1 { font-weight: 300; font-size: 2.625em; line-height: 1.0952380952; margin-bottom: 1.6666666667em; }

And i think the output file should look like this:

h1 { font-weight: 300em; font-size: 2.625em; line-height: 1.0952380952em; margin-bottom: 1.6666666667em; }

I think you forgot *1em in return of the function or something like that. Was it helpful? You can give me some points. :)
