This CSS code defines two styles for HTML anchor tags, one using a direct hex code and the other using a CSS variable for a more scalable and maintainable design. The direct hex code sets the text color to #fe5000, while the variable assignment uses a CSS variable @primary to achieve the same result.

a
{
    color: #
    fe5000;
}

@primary: #fe5000;

a
{
    color: @primary;
}

What the code could have been:

// Define CSS styles in a separate file, but for simplicity, we'll define it here
const cssStyles = `
  :root {
    --primary-color: #fe5000;
  }

  a {
    color: var(--primary-color);
  }
`;

// Extract the primary color from the CSS styles
const PRIMARY_COLOR: string = cssStyles.match(/--primary-color:\s*([^\s]+)/)[1];

// Define a function to generate the CSS styles
function generateCss(): string {
  return `
    :root {
      --primary-color: ${PRIMARY_COLOR};
    }

    a {
      color: var(--primary-color);
    }
  `;
}

console.log(generateCss());
