@Mixin issue

How is the @mixin supposed to be set up?

style.scss 
@mixin square ($size,$color:black) {
  width: $size;
  height: $size;
  border: 1px solid $color;
}

.box {
  @mixin square ($size: 50px,$color: $red) {
    border: 1px solid $color;
    height: $size;
    width: $size;
  }
}

You are almost there! You just need to change your incorrect .box rule. Here you have declared the mixin twice, you don't do that. You define a mixin by typing the @mixin directive like you have done at the beginning of the code. To use the mixin, you need to use the @include directive, which allows you to use the mixin. Check below:

.box {
  @include square(50px, red);
}
