Don't get the challenge

Anyone who can help me with the codes? Im having trouble understanding the challenge

higherOrderFunctions.swift 
/** 
  For this code challenge, let’s define a math operation as a function that 
  carries out some work on two integers and returns an integer as well. An 
  example is the function below, `differenceBetweenNumbers`, which takes two 
  integers and calculates the difference between the numbers. After calculating, 
  it returns the difference.
*/

func differenceBetweenNumbers(a: Int, b:Int) -> (Int) {
  return a - b
}

// Enter your code below
func mathOperation(Int, Int) -> Int, a: Int, b: Int) {
    return a - b
}
