1,076 PointsThis wasnt taught in the tutorial! What? Remainder operator?
What is this about? I looked online but without seeing it used in the tutorial... im not sure how it is to be written out.
// 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
// Task 2 - Enter your code below

The challenge is referring to the modulo operator — which is the percent (%) sign. The modulo operator's function is to divide two numbers — but instead of returning the result of the division — it returns the remainder.
The challenge asks you to find the remainder of value and divisor and assign the result to a constant named result:
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5
let result = value % divisor
Then it asks you to store a boolean value — whether or not the result was zero, meaning there was no remainder — in a constant named isPerfectMultiple:
// Enter your code below
let value = 200
let divisor = 5
let result = value % divisor
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0
