20,141 PointsCode Challenge: Methods Arguments 1 & Methods Return 2
Create a method called "hello" that takes one argument. Create a method called "mod" that take two arguments
I understand writing out the arguments in both challenges what I cannot seem to wrap my mind around is the name method called "hello" followed by a method called "mod". A thorough explanation would be helpful.
Should I
def method_name <--name as hello or class def hello/mod etc..

4,592 Pointshere comes some spoilers, if you want to try around yourself, dont read further from here:
def hello(something)
#i am a method with one argument.
end
def mod(a, b)
# i am a method, that take two arguments, if you call me, i divide both arguments,
# then i return you the reminder out of that devision
return a % b
end
you should view this tutorial series here. it provides you much more knowledge then the quicky one.

20,141 PointsI was going by track courses, will look into it further when I come around to taking Ruby courses.
I was merely wondering what method "hello" stood for ie method add, name, mod, program are known terms of methods and I still don't understand where method hello comes from. I skipped this test passed all other code challenges to come back to this code challenge and was stuck for hours wondering what method "hello" mean.
Thanks for writing out the argument to the code challenge, though.
