I am not sure what to do in this task! I just get an error

I always get a stupid error when I try to complete this task. Can someone help me?

functions.swift 
// Enter your code below
func getRemainder(value: Int, divisor: Int) -> Int {
  return(value % divisor)
}

That "stupid error" is telling you pretty much exactly what the issue is. The task asks you to have two variables with a local name of a and b, and external names of value and divisor. You currently don't define any external names. And use value and divisor as local names.

As shown in the Argument Labels video preceeding this challenge you can have a separate external and local name that are divided by a space. Like this:

func getRemainder(value a: Int, divisor b: Int) -> Int {
  return(a % b) // Since a and b are the local names I had to change this line too
}
