Hi Ben,

No need to smash up your laptop as you are nearly there,. This challenge wants your mod() method to return the value not print it to the screen. You also need a period (.) at the end of your sentence.

Something like:

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

Hope this helps. Happy coding
