A function is similar in look to a mixin but it doesn't add any styles, it only returns a value. Functions should be used to prevent repeated logic in your styles.
Sass has some built-in functions that are called using the standard CSS function syntax.
h1 {
background: hsl(0, 25%, 50%);
}
Functions are declared using the below syntax,
@function multiply(x, y) {
@return x * y;
}
// example use below
h1 {
margin-top: multiply(10px, 2);
}
In the code above, @function
declares a function, and @return
signifies the return value.
