iOS Swift Basics Swift Operators Working With Operators

working with operators

step 1: In the editor below, you have two constants - value and divisor. Step 1: Using the remainder operator, compute the remainder given the value and a divisor. Assign this value to a constant named result.

Step 2: When value obtained using a remainder operator is 0, this means that the value is a perfect multiple of the divisor. Compare the value of result to 0 using the equality operator and assign the resulting value to a constant named isPerfectMultiple.

let value = 200 let divisor = 200

what I've done so far, which is partly wrong:

step 1 answer : let result = value % divisor

step 2 : result == 0

let isPerfectMultiple = 0

operators.swift
// 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

// Task 2 - Enter your code below

let result = value % divisor

result == 0

let isPerfectMultiple = 0

let isPerfectMultiple = result == 0

You just gave a solution, with no explanation.

What part specifically do you need assistance with?

You have the first part correct and all you are doing in the second part is seeing if the result is equal to 0, which it is
