I don't understand what step 2 is asking...

What exactly am I being asked to do? I understand that I am doing a comparison, but I don't see how to set the results of that comparison to a name isPerfectMultiple.

operators.swift
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5
value % divisor
let someOperation = 20 + 400 % 10 / 2 - 15
let anotherOperation = 52 * 27 % 200 / 2 + 5

// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor 
result == 0
// Task 2 - Enter your code below

Yes, I found it a bit confusing at first as well! What they want you to do is compare result with 0 and assign the result to isPerfectMultiple. You don't need the parentheses but they help to see that first you are comparing two things, and then assigning the resulting Bool, true, to the constant. It's true because 200 is a perfect multiple of 5:

// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = (result == 0)
