5a9d726c424fe3d0e10cad11	Create a custom CSS Variable	0	https://scrimba.com/c/cQd27Hr	301086

Description

To create a CSS variable, you just need to give it a name with two hyphens in front of it and assign it a value like this:

--penguin-skin: gray;

This will create a variable named --penguin-skin and assign it the value of gray. Now you can use that variable elsewhere in your CSS to change the value of other elements to gray.

Instructions

In the penguin class, create a variable name --penguin-skin and give it a value of gray.

Tests

tests:
  - text: <code>penguin</code> class should declare the <code>--penguin-skin</code> variable and assign it to <code>gray</code>.
    testString: assert(code.match(/.penguin\s*?{[\s\S]*--penguin-skin\s*?:\s*?gray\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi));
