14,814 PointsError on listmap quiz in Advanced Sass Course
I think that this needs to be fixed. It's a t/f question:
"The following variable references are exactly the same:
- $input-disabled-background:
- map-get($input, disabled-background);"
Should the colon after the first list item be a semicolon?

The colon is meant to be there since you are declaring a variable. In CSS you declare a variable using the variable name, followed by a colon, and then the value of the variable. The quiz question only uses part of the declaration as it's asking if using the variable by name is the same as using the function map-get.
$input-disabled-background: #CCC;
Cheers!

14,814 PointsThanks for the quick response.
I assumed since the question was about referencing a variable rather than assigning it a value, that I could expect to see a reference in both of the items.
I still think that both of the options should be complete lines of code (ending in a semicolon) since the question asks about whether the two are the exact same. Since the answer is the same in either case, I guess it doesn't matter much though. It was just confusing to me as a user.
