Come on, SASS is a CSS preprocessor that compiles into CSS, it's not like I'm talking about PHP. 😄

Indeed it is a pre processor. I mean, same concept..but with the fundamentals differences within a markup and an already declarative programming languaje like CSS..

I guess we need to acurate our Css definition like a little relative of the programming languages family tree..but define it with great detail.

The question is simple - what language are you writing the loop in? Sass or scss. Not css. The title sounds like there was a new feature in css that allows loops.

Your tutorial is useful for anyone learning SASS. But the title is seriously misleading.

No, you can’t write a loop in CSS. And frankly, the idea seems pointless. It’s a challenge to find applicability for a case where such logic is best implemented as a STYLE, rather than in application logic.

Otherwise, this was a nice tutorial really that can support knowledge of SASS.

Nobody is searching looping in SASS, though. I found this article by searching CSS loops, so...

The only reason I viewed this article was because it claimed to do a loop in CSS. Had it said loop in SCSS I wouldn't have bothered to view it because I already know that it can be done.

Clickbait is clickbait.

Take a look at final generated css. It doesn't have loop. Please correct the title and stop spreading wrong information. People take away the things and share it further. Be a responsible developer not for yourself but for the whole community and for beginners who will learn from you.
