is this solution right? 

func isDivisilbe (#numberEna: Int, #numberDio: Int) -> (einai: Bool , description: String )? {

    var einai = (false,"is not divisible")

    if (numberEna % numberDio) == 0{


        einai = (true," is divisilbe")

    }

    return einai

}

if let divisible = isDivisilbe(numberEna: 5, numberDio: 2){

    println(divisible.description)

    println(divisible.einai)
}

i tried some times and its ok am i right?

Hi Jim,

The solution you've given is over complicated as per what the challenge is asking for, currently you're using named parameters which isn't required and you're returning a tuple which isn't the required return type, you simply need to return a Bool optional which as the tasks specifies is either true or nil.

See the below code which is similar to your code but follows the task given.

func isDivisible(one: Int, two: Int) -> Bool? {
    if one % two == 0 {
        return true
    }

    return nil
}

if let divisible = isDivisible(10, 5) {
    println("Divisible")
}

Please bare in mind your answer is valid but again it doesn't follow along with the task at hand, let me know if any of this is confusing.

Happy coding!
