iOS Functions in Swift Adding Power to Functions Function Parameters

Posted by Joshua Nilsson

I am not sure where to add the external value to this.

Here is the instructions on what I am supposed to do on this step. Step 2: The local names of the parameters are convenient but they make it hard to figure out the meaning of the function when we call it. Add two external names - value, for the first parameter and divisor for the second.

If you need the whole entire task just ask me! Thank You! ; )

functions.swift 
func getRemainder(a: Int, b: Int) -> Int {
return a % b
}

Hi Joshua,

the external names are added right before the local ones (a and b):

func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
  return a % b
}

Ok thank you! That was what I thought but I was not quite sure.
