How do you go about adding to external names to the current parameter within this code?

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

functions.swift 
// Enter your code below
func getRemainder(a: Int, b: Int) -> Int {
  return a % b
}

Hey Michael,

you can add external parameter names by writing them in front of the local parameter name. In this case you have to write value in front of a and divisor in front of b .

// Enter your code below
func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
  return a % b
}

I hope that helps! :)
