## Description
<section id='description'>
The <code>@if</code> directive in Sass is useful to test for a specific case - it works just like the <code>if</code> statement in JavaScript</code>.
<blockquote>@mixin make-bold($bool) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;@if $bool == true {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;font-weight: bold;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>}</blockquote>
And just like in JavaScript, <code>@else if</code> and <code>@else</code> test for more conditions:
<blockquote>@mixin text-effect($val) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;@if $val == danger {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;color: red;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;@else if $val == alert {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;color: yellow;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;@else if $val == success {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;color: green;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;@else {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;color: black;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>}</blockquote>
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Create a <code>mixin</code> called <code>border-stroke</code> that takes a parameter <code>$val</code>. The <code>mixin</code> should check for the following conditions using <code>@if</code>, <code>@else if</code>, and <code>@else</code>:
<blockquote>light - 1px solid black<br>medium - 3px solid black<br>heavy - 6px solid black<br>none - no border</blockquote>

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your code should declare a <code>mixin</code> named <code>border-stroke</code> which has a parameter named <code>$val</code>.
    testString: assert(code.match(/@mixin\s+?border-stroke\s*?\(\s*?\$val\s*?\)\s*?{/gi), 'Your code should declare a <code>mixin</code> named <code>border-stroke</code> which has a parameter named <code>$val</code>.');
  - text: Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@if</code> statement to check if <code>$val</code> is light, and to set the <code>border</code> to 1px solid black.
    testString: assert(code.match(/@if\s+?\$val\s*?===?\s*?light\s*?{\s*?border\s*?:\s*?1px\s+?solid\s+?black\s*?;\s*?}/gi), 'Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@if</code> statement to check if <code>$val</code> is light, and to set the <code>border</code> to 1px solid black.');
  - text: Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@else if</code> statement to check if <code>$val</code> is medium, and to set the <code>border</code> to 3px solid black.
    testString: assert(code.match(/@else\s+?if\s+?\$val\s*?===?\s*?medium\s*?{\s*?border\s*?:\s*?3px\s+?solid\s+?black\s*?;\s*?}/gi), 'Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@else if</code> statement to check if <code>$val</code> is medium, and to set the <code>border</code> to 3px solid black.');
  - text: Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@else if</code> statement to check if <code>$val</code> is heavy, and to set the <code>border</code> to 6px solid black.
    testString: assert(code.match(/@else\s+?if\s+?\$val\s*?===?\s*?heavy\s*?{\s*?border\s*?:\s*?6px\s+?solid\s+?black\s*?;\s*?}/gi), 'Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@else if</code> statement to check if <code>$val</code> is heavy, and to set the <code>border</code> to 6px solid black.');
  - text: Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@else</code> statement to set the <code>border</code> to none.
    testString: assert(code.match(/@else\s*?{\s*?border\s*?:\s*?none\s*?;\s*?}/gi), 'Your <code>mixin</code> should have an <code>@else</code> statement to set the <code>border</code> to none.');
