$context: $base-font-size;

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?
