1,293 PointsWrite a function, called double, that multiplies its input by 2.
I can't figure out step one to this 3 part. I don't really think I'm close with my answer but I've tried so many different variations, I am too confused at this point, can someone help me out?
$double: 10px;
@function input($double) { @return $double * 2; }

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

15,074 PointsI can't figure out how to finish this:
Use the double function you just wrote to refactor this code: div { font-size: 5px * 2; }
and none of the stuff posted here work.
- Got it. was a simple typographical error on my part.

5,240 PointsHey amrutabuge,
Your previous code was:
@function double($input) { @return $input * 2; }
They are giving you this div:
div {
font-size: 5px * 2;
}
So
font-size: 5px * 2; <----- This is the same as saying --> font-size= double(5px) since "double(5px)" is calling your function
@function double($input) { @return $input * 2;
and replacing ($input) for 5px.
Hope it helps. T.

You should change 10px to 10 (without the px) You can only perform multiplication on numbers.
Dylan George
1,293 PointsThanks for the tip Craig. After removing the 'px' I am still getting an error "We need a function named 'double'."
I am struggling on my code form for this section, do you know what else is wrong with my answer?
Scott Sundsvold
Web Development Techdegree Student 4,479 PointsAny advice for the Challenge Task 2 in the Sass Functions? Specifically, the challenge asks "Use the double function you just wrote to refactor this code: div { font-size: 5px * 2; }" Link http://teamtreehouse.com/library/sass-functions

582 PointsHey Dylan,
Now it's just a case of changing the name of the function to be called double. Try that. (I haven't used variables in CSS before, so there may be other syntax mistakes)
""" $number = 10;
@function double($number) {@return $number * 2;}
"""

"Use the double function you just wrote to refactor this code: div { font-size: 5px * 2; }"

17,731 Pointsdiv{ font-size:double(5px) }
it is saying to use the double function and refactor the exisiting code div {font-size:5px *2;}
Ivan Franzone
7,328 PointsI wrote: div { font-size: unquote(double(5px));} and I passed the task correctly! Do you think guys that´s correct?? I think maybe it was a bug :D
