Courses Plus Student 1,335 PointsHow is this not a properly formatted string? puts "The remainder of #{a} and #{b} is #{c}"
I keep getting an error
def mod(a, b)
c = a % b
puts %Q(The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}.)
end

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHey there,
While the interpolation is correct (though you don't need the %Q), the challenge explicitly asks you to return the string:
... "Use string interpolation to return the remainder ..."
But you are using puts
. Just change that and you're good to go. Challenges are very specific and very picky. So, often, a Bummer! is just because of a spelling error, punctuation error, or in this case, the wrong method being used.
Keep Coding! :)
