Try to pair program ![:busts_in_silhouette:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/busts_in_silhouette.png?v=3 ":busts_in_silhouette:") and write your own code ![:pencil:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/pencil.png?v=3 ":pencil:") ### Problem Explanation: This program is very simple, the trick is to remember how while looping works. ## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 0 * **Make sure your zoom settings are at `100%` or `default` otherwise tests sometimes fail. ** ## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 1 * You will initialise the loop first with x as: `$x: 1` > _try to solve the problem now_ ## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 2 * See the example for `@while` syntax, `@while $x < 11` > _try to solve the problem now_ ## ![:speech_balloon:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/speech_balloon.png?v=3 ":speech_balloon:") Hint: 3 * to set class properties inside a loop we reference them enclosed by #{}, hence ere it will become: `.text-#{$x}` > _try to solve the problem now_ ## Spoiler Alert! ![warning sign](//discourse-user-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/2/2d6c412a50797771301e7ceabd554cef4edcd74d.gif) **Solution ahead!** ## ![:beginner:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/beginner.png?v=3 ":beginner:") Basic Code Solution: ```css $x: 1; @while $x < 11 { .text-#{$x} { font-size: 5px * $x; } $x: $x + 1; } ``` #### Relevant Links * Interpolation * Variables * while loops ## ![:clipboard:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/clipboard.png?v=3 ":clipboard:") NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: * ![:warning:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/warning.png?v=3 ":warning:") **DO NOT** add solutions that are similar to any existing solutions. If you think it is **_similar but better_**, then try to merge (or replace) the existing similar solution. * Add an explanation of your solution. * Categorize the solution in one of the following categories — **Basic**, **Intermediate** and **Advanced**. ![:traffic_light:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/traffic_light.png?v=3 ":traffic_light:")
