make sure your string is formatted correctly?

need help with formatting I guess?

def mod(a, b) #write your code here puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is c." c = a % b end

puts mod(4, 2)

Hi Kent,

You are close. Make sure you set c equal to the remainder af a and b before you create your string. Then use a varaible place holder for c in your string. You only need to return the string, no puts needed. e.g. 

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