--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 properties to gray.

--instructions--

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

--hints--

penguin class should declare the --penguin-skin variable and assign it to gray.

assert(
  code.match(/\.penguin\s*\{[^{}]*?--penguin-skin\s*:\s*gr[ae]y\s*;[^{}]*?\}/gi)
);
