6,693 PointsFor some reason, this won't take the solution I made, yet it seems correct.
I defined a method that should do what the challenge asks for. I also tested it by adding the line of code:
mod(7,3)
... and it said what it was supposed to say.
def mod(a, b)
# get the remainder of a/b and assign it to C
c=a%b
puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end

def mod(a, b)
# get the remainder of a/b and assign it to C
c=a%b
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end
By return they meant send back, not output to screen.
