please can someone help me here not quite sure what I didn't understand
// 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 = 0

"%" is the Remainder Operator: The remainder operator (a % b) works out how many multiples of b will fit inside a and returns the value that is left over (known as the remainder)
So 5 goes into 200, 40 times. There is no remainder. Therefore result = 0
Task 2 is a Bool and is asking, was there a remainder in Task 1 It should read: let isPerfectMultiple = (result == 0)
"==" is a Comparison Operator that returns True or False. You are comparing result to 0. The statement in words says, Is result equal to 0, True or False. Then assign True or False to IsPerfectMultiple.
In this case isPerfectMultiple is True because result is 0.

10,389 PointsHi, Tast 1 is asking you to assign a reminder operator. / is for devision, so you should use %.
Tast 2 is asking you to see if the result is equal to 0. You should use equal operator and assign the argument to isPerfectMultiple.
