Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 956 Pointshi, this is the code I wrote..
I wrote variations of this and tested them in the console and they worked perfectly fine. However, they won't accept any of those because the console says they're not nicely formatted. How exactly does the programme want me to do it? thanks!
def mod(a,b)
a%b
c=a%b
puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end
mod(7,2)

Treehouse TeacherWow you're close on this one. But first, you've got a couple of extra lines of code that aren't needed. Secondly, you must follow the instructions to the letter. The instructions explicitly state to return the string... not print the string. It's a picky thing, but it will cause the challenge to fail. Take a look at my solution:
def mod(a, b)
#write your code here
c = a % b
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end
