How can I get this to work??
$base-font-size: 16px;
$context: $base-font-size;
// Write your function here
@function px-to-rem($target, $context){
}

```style.scss
$base-font-size: 16px;
// Write your function here
@function px-to-rem($target, $context){
}

10,018 PointsHi Philip,
The assignment is to set a default value for $context.
$base-font-size: 16px;
@function px-to-rem($target, $context: $base-font-size){
}
By writing $context: $base-font-size you are telling the compiler that if the px-to-rem() is called without the second $context argument, that it should default back to $base-font-size. Which is a variable defined as 16px. Cool huh?
