It's quite a simple function really.
@function double (double) {
a {
Font-size: double * 2;
double(4px);
This is a Sass function that takes in a parameter that will hold them value we want to double. To get the actual value we want to double we just need to pass it in at function call.
double(4px);
Double is both the function name and the band of the parameter and 4px is the value. you should see 8px output to the screen.
