Courses Plus Student 1,956 PointsWhat is if- let about? How do I think of this in simple terms?
I see what it does in the video, but how do I think about this so I can do it myself in my own code. Simple terms are always appreciated.

let result = isDivisible(dividend: 15, divisor: 3)
if result {
println("True")
} else {
println("False")
}
Does that make more sense?
Edit, You may need to check if result is true / false so:
let result = isDivisible(dividend: 15, divisor: 3)
if result == true {
println("True")
} else {
println("False")
}
Result is a boolean so it will be true or false.

Courses Plus Student 1,956 PointsIs it basically follows the order of the last function right? I mean we did not declare if result == something then this. I think I get it now.
