The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1)scale(3); } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` ```css /* notice the two closing parentheses without a space between */ a { top: calc(1 * (1 + 3)); } ``` ```css /* notice the ), with no space after the closing parenthesis */ a { padding: calc(1 * 2px), calc(2 * 5px); } ``` ```scss /* notice the )}, with no space after the closing parenthesis */ a { max-height: #{($line-height) * ($lines-to-show)}em; } ``` ```less /* notice the )}, with no space after the closing parenthesis */ a { max-height: ((@line-height) * (@lines-to-show))em; } ``` ### `"never"` There *must never* be whitespace after the function. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1) scale(3); } ``` The following patterns are *not* considered warnings: ```css a { transform: translate(1, 1)scale(3); } ```
