Given the isDivisible function, create another function called isNotDivisible which also takes in two parameters, namely the dividend and the divisor. It should also return a Bool. The goal of this new function is to let you know whether a dividend is NOT divisible by the divisor. (Note: the function should return only a Bool and not an optional.)

divisible.swift
func isDivisible(#dividend: Int, #divisor: Int) -> Bool {
    if dividend % divisor == 0 {
        return true
    } else {
        return false
    }
}

Hey Munir,

for this challenge you can basically copy the isDivisible function, change its name to isNotDivisible and then just change the is equal operator (==) to the is not equal operator (!=). That way the return value will be true when the dividend is not divisible by the divisor because there will be a remainder.

Like so:

func isDivisible(#dividend: Int, #divisor: Int) -> Bool {
    if dividend % divisor == 0 {
        return true
    } else {
        return false
    }
}

func isNotDivisible(#dividend: Int, #divisor: Int) -> Bool {
    if dividend % divisor != 0 {
        return true
    } else {
        return false
    }
}

I hope that helps! :)
