I've tried repeatedly to get through this code challenge and this one has me stuck. I really need some guidance, please.

def mod(a , b)
return a % b
end

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,271 Pointsyou just put a return statement in the body of the function, returning what it asks for. the modulo or mod operator % returns the remainder of division, so if 8 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 3, then 8 % 5 = 3.
