Question

In this task we're going to write a simple function that takes two numbers and returns the remainder of dividing one number by the other.
Step 1: Declare a function named getRemainder that takes two parameters, aand b, both of type Int, and returns the value, also of type Int, obtained by carrying out the operation a modulo b. In case you've forgotten, the modulo operator is also called the remainder operator.
Step 2: The local names of the parameters are convenient but they make it hard to figure out the meaning of the function when we call it. Add two external names - value, for the first parameter and divisor for the second.
functions.swift
// Enter your code below
func getRemainder(a value: Int, b divisor: Int) -> Int {
      return value % divisor
}

It seems you've gotten things a little backwards here and there.  The external name should be written first and then the internal name.  Then we're going to return the modulus of the two internal variables.  Take a look at my solution:
```swift
// Enter your code below
func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
      return a % b
}
```
