Ruby Ruby Basics (Retired) Ruby Methods Method Returns: Part 2

I don't understand the goal of this challenge, I wrote: def mod(a,b) c = a % b puts "The remainder of #{a} ...

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

I rewrite many times but it is pretty much it.

It is not working.

method.rb 
def mod(a, b)
  #write your code here
end

Hey

Lots of people get stuck on this one, this thread has the answer you're looking for but before you do that take another read of the question and try to identify exactly what it's asking for:

"Use string interpolation to return the remainder inside the sentence “The remainder of a divided by b is c.” where a is your “a” variable, b is your “b” variable, and c is the value of a % b."

Hey Matthew.

I already found the answer. I my case was the "." character.

Bests.
