help with comparison

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.

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
let result = value % divisor
result == 0

// Task 2 - Enter your code below
let isPerfectMultiple = 0

Ryan Forte You've got the right idea. All you need to change is the placement of where you compare the result constant to zero. As the challenge states, you must assign the value of result == 0 to the specific constant isPerfectMultiple. You can think of the challenge instructions as "pseudo code". Usually the instructions tell you exactly what needs to be done. You have all the pieces correct just misplaced! Good luck on your Tech Degree journey!
