Hey Meet Ramani,

You've got your internal and external variable names muddled up on this one. Currently, your method is set up with external variable names of "a" and "b", with internal names referred to as "value" and "divisor".

You need to switch these around so that your external names are value and divisor.

Once you've done this, you'll have to make sure you're using the correct external names when calling your method. Likewise that you're using internal names within the body of your getRemainder function. Finally, assign this to a constant named result and you should complete the challenge.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need any more pointers!
