// Task 1 - Enter your code below
let result = value % divisor
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
if result == 0 {
let isPerfectMultiple = result
}
// 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
let result = value % divisor
// Task 2 - Enter your code below
if result == 0 {
let isPerfectMultiple = result
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! The challenge wants a boolean stored in isPerfectMultiple. The way your code is currently only the integer 0 will ever be stored there. The if statement is not necessary. And we can do this with one line of code:
let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0
This will compare the result of the modulus operation with 0. If the result was 0, then isPerfectMultiple will have a true value assigned to it. Otherwise, false will be assigned to isPerfectMultiple. Hope this helps!
