Tell us what’s happening:
i wrote this code and it works on the simulator window but shows errors in the output window under the editor.

Your code so far


<style type='text/sass'>
$x : 1;
@while $x <11 {
    .text-#{$x} { font-size: #{5*$x}px;}
    $x : $x + 1;
}  
  
  
</style>

<p class="text-1">Hello</p>
<p class="text-2">Hello</p>
<p class="text-3">Hello</p>
<p class="text-4">Hello</p>
<p class="text-5">Hello</p>
<p class="text-6">Hello</p>
<p class="text-7">Hello</p>
<p class="text-8">Hello</p>
<p class="text-9">Hello</p>
<p class="text-10">Hello</p>

This could be becasue you have set a minimum font size for your browser.

Check your browser config, it has a section about minimum font size, probably it’s something like 8px, so this 5px will be ignored, and test fails.

Example in chrome:
Go to menu -> settings -> search for and goto “Customize fonts” -> adjust the minimum font size to something like 4px and try again the test. Later you would rollback this setting of course.

It’s 100% buggy exercise. Seems to accept/reject randomly . This code got accepted in one go. But when I submitted it again (almost immediately afterwards), it didn’t pass through.

<style type='text/sass'>
$x: 1;
@while $x < 11 {
  .text-#{$x} { font-size: 5px * $x;}
  $x: $x + 1;
}  
  
  
</style>

<p class="text-1">Hello</p>
<p class="text-2">Hello</p>
<p class="text-3">Hello</p>
<p class="text-4">Hello</p>
<p class="text-5">Hello</p>
<p class="text-6">Hello</p>
<p class="text-7">Hello</p>
<p class="text-8">Hello</p>
<p class="text-9">Hello</p>
<p class="text-10">Hello</p>

Used FireFox.

My SASS code

 $x: 1;
@while $x < 11 {
  .text-#{$x} { font-size: 5px * $x;}
  $x: $x + 1;
}

But my code is not passing for text-1

this solves my issue. My chrome has minimal fonts set to 6 and it failed for .text-1
Thanks for this trick!
