463 PointsWhat is the sign to divide?
I am doing a code challenge and forgot the operator symbol to divide. What is it?
// 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
value/divisor = result
let result = 40
// Task 2 - Enter your code below

The divide operator is the slash symbol /, but that isn't what you want here.
You want to assign the result of finding the number remaining after the division operation between value and divisor. That need the mod operator which is the percent sign, %. So, create a constant called result and use the mod operator between value and divisor. That looks like:
let result = value % divisor
Make sense?
Steve.
