Cannot figure out Method Returns part 2 challenge

In the previous challenge, we wrote a method that returned the remainder of two arguments when divided. That's cool, but it would be nicer if the method returned the remainder in a nice full sentence. Use string interpolation to return the remainder inside the sentence “The remainder of a divided by b is c.” where a is your “a” variable, b is your “b” variable, and c is the value of a % b.

Try this:

def mod(a, b)
    "The remainder of a divided by b is #{a % b}"
end

Hope it helps :smile:
