422 PointsI don't understand this assignment. I got the remainder value and when I try to compare "result" to "0" it won't work.
I did the result constant properly. I don't understand what I did wrong with the isPerfectMultiple operator now.
Comparing result to 0 would be let isPerfectMultiple = "result == 0" wouldn't it?
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5
let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5
// Task 1 - Enter your code below
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let result = "value % divisor"
result == 0
let isPerfectMultiple = "result"

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Asad! Not quite. The current value of result is the string "value % divisor" instead of the calculation of the modulus. Remember, we use quotation marks around strings. The same error is present on your isPerfectMultiple. It contains the string "result" instead of the comparison of result to 0. Take a look:
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5
let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5
// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0
This is only for step 1 as that's where I believe you've gotten stuck. Here we set up a constant result and assign the the resulting modulus of value and divisor. Then we set up our constant ìsPerfectMultiple. It will compare result to 0 and store a value of true or false in this variable.
Hope this helps!

422 PointsI understand now. I think I get too much of it mixed up in my head. It always ends up being simpler than what I mistake it as.
Thanks Jennifer!
