Shorthand along with arithmetic (SASS) [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

Sass negative variable value? (5 answers)

Closed 6 years ago.

I can't use shorthand when I need to use variable arithmetic in SASS,

This is expected result:

text-shadow: 0 -2px white;

But when I code this:

$shadow: 2px;
text-shadow: 0 -$shadow white;

But I get this:

text-shadow: -2px white;

How to fix that?

Answer 1

Found a solution:

text-shadow: 0 #{-$shadow} white;
