I have listened to the last 2 lessons twice and I don't get this.
let result = value ???
// 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
// Task 2 - Enter your code below

22,159 PointsSo that % operator is called modulo. That is the one that tells you what remains. We have a value of 200 and a divisor of 5. When we get 5 and divide it into 200 we get no remainder left over. So 200 % 5 = 0.
With that in mind, your code would look like this.
// 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 # See, here we are setting result to what the remainder is.
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0 # Here we are evaluating if result is equal to 0 and returning true.
