isDivisible function challenge

Question

I had this code and I didn't have any errors and I got the output I wanted. Is it wrong?
```
import UIKit
func divisibleTest(firstNumber: Int, secondNumber: Int) -> Bool? {
    if (firstNumber % secondNumber == 0) {
        return true
    } else if (firstNumber % secondNumber != 0) {
}
    return nil
}
divisibleTest(6,6)
if let result = divisibleTest(9,3) {
    println("Divisible")
} else {
    println("Not Divisible")
}
```
Ahahaha. That's funny. I just realized I had an extra line of code I didn't need in my else if statement in the function. I wasn't getting any errors but I was wondering why the playground output "2 times". I'm very relieved to know I understood this exercise. I did leave out the labels though. Does that matter?

I'm just learning so i may be wrong but it seems that your code is not returning a true value but a some true value
I did this but imo it's a bit borderline it's not the same function that return the value if it's true or nil : ``` func isDivisible (#numb1: Int, #numb2: Int) -> Bool? {
    if (numb1 % numb2 == 0) {
        return true
    }
    println("Not Divisible")
    return nil
}
if let iss = isDivisible(numb1: 9, numb2: 3)?.boolValue {
    iss
    if iss == true {
    println("Divisible")
    }
}
```
plus i wanted to print 9 is divisible by 3
so i tried lot of things but i didn't get the value in my print someone know how to do ? sorry but the ```aren't working ...

Your code looks fine, except for the unnecessary if-else statement which you already realized. You don't need external parameter names in a function. When someone calls the function, they'll see the local parameter names when they start typing the function call, so it's not that necessary for the function caller. However, after the function call has been made, without the external parameter names in the function call, it's not that clear to someone reading the function call what each value represents. So external parameter names make cleaner code.
