I need help! PLS

Here is the question: Now that we have a working function let's use it.

Call the function and pass in a value of 10 for the first parameter and 3 for the second.

Assign the result of the function operation to a constant named result.

functions.swift 
func getRemainder(value a: 10, divisor b: 3) -> Int {
     let remainder = a * b
     return remainder
}

Hi Joshua,

you only need to call the function now. Leave the definition of the function as it is at the end of task 1. In oder to call it, you pass in the arguments for value and divisor, i.e. 10 and 3. For the call of the function only the external names are used (value and divisor), not the local ones (a and b), as they are valid only inside the function. All these operations are performed outside of the function definition. The result of the function call you then assign to the constant result.

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

let result = getRemainder(value: 10, divisor: 3)
