I've spent lots of time trying to solve this one. Please help.
Thank you,

// Enter your code below
func getRemainder(value a: int, divisor b: int) {
let division = a % b
}
getRemainer(value, divisor)

The solution I provided does work.
The challenge has two stages:
func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
return a % b
}
The second stage does require the function to be called:
let result = getRemainder(value: 10, divisor: 3)
Also, the solution you provided does work, but remember to write Int with a capital I not int.
I hope this helps!

There are simply a few small steps that you have missed out when creating this function.
You have correctly labelled the parameters but you must remember to declare what the parameter is returning using '->'.
func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int
Secondly, the challenge asks you to return an operation. Although you have declared this operation correctly, you have not returned it.
return a % b
The challenge then asks you to call the function and assign it to a constant named result.
let result = getRemainder(value: 10, divisor: 3)
The overall solution should look like this:
func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
return a % b
}
let result = getRemainder(value: 10, divisor: 3)
I would strongly recommend fully understanding the solution here, and then come back to it in a day or two to reinforce your knowledge through retrieval.
All the best!!

1,467 PointsHi Mitch,
Thanks very much, I read through the fact they wanted a return. I tried the solution provided, but it was not accepted.
The solution provided "calls" the function, but that is not a requirement?
This is what I have, and it is still not accepted.
Any other ideas?
func getRemainder(value a: int, divisor b: int) -> int {
return a % b
}
This should work, but it does not. Help please.

1,467 PointsAwesome Mitch!!!
Mine wasn't working because I was using int 'lower case "i" ' to designate an integer. When I compared it against yours, I see that yours was: Int with a capital 'I' not lower case, as I had mistaken.
I thank you very much, and have a great day!!!

Have a great day yourself and all the best!
