Courses Plus Student 5,206 PointsIn the previous challenge, we wrote a method that returned the remainder of two arguments when divided. That's cool, but
can anyone help this question
def mod(a, b)
#write your code here
puts "Reminder of #{a} and #{b} is #{c} "
return c
end
mod()

Treehouse TeacherYou're close, but this challenge wants you to return the string from the mod
method, not print it out. And there is no c
variable; the challenge says:
where... c is the value of a % b
So you should do this:
def mod(a, b)
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a % b}."
end
Or even just this:
def mod(a, b)
"The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a % b}."
end

where inputting your code a solution could be c = a % b
then call mod with 2 numbers mod(5,2)
output should be Reminder of 5 and 2 is 1
