Question

i'm don't know what to do
```divisible.swift
func isNotDivisible(#dividend: Int , #divisor: Int )-> Bool {
     if dividend % divisor == 0{
     return true
     } else {
      return false
      }
}
if let result = isNotDivisible(dividend: 4 , divisor : 3){
         return ""
}
```

Hi there, 
In this challenge you are given a function called isDivisible which takes two numbers as parameters and let's you now if one is exactly divisible by the other, or not. The function returns true or false, as appropriate. 
The first function looks like:
swift
func isDivisible(#dividend: Int, #divisor: Int) -> Bool {
    if dividend % divisor == 0 {
        return true
    } else {
        return false
    }
}

The challenge is to make the opposite function, i.e. create a function called `isNotDivisible that takes two parameters and returns true if they aren't divisible and false if they are. There's two ways of achieving this, one adheres to D.R.Y. and the other doesn't. 
If you simply reverse the condition that determines what the function returns, i.e. you change the test in isNotDivisible from:
swift
if dividend % divisor == 0

to 
swift
if dividend % divisor != 0

Then that will fit the requirements. That's not very slick, though - you are repeating the entire function, virtually. So, how about using the existing function but opposing what it returns. So:
swift
func isNotDivisible(#dividend: Int, #divisor: Int) -> Bool {
  return !isDivisible(dividend: dividend, divisor: divisor)
}

That just returns the opposite of the first function which is what the challenge is asking for. 
Hope that helps! 
Steve.
