What am I missing here?

This keeps coming back as a "bummer" but it does exactly what is requested, compiles correctly and matches everything as far as I can see. Why am I getting an error?

functions.swift
// Enter your code below
func getRemainder(a value: Int, b divisor: Int) -> Int {
    return value % divisor
}

Ryan, you put the external names in the wrong place, and you need to use the internal names in the calculation:

func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
  return a % b;
}

let result = getRemainder(value: 10, divisor: 3)

Got it - I was confused by the phrasing, but this makes much more sense. Thank you!
