Error name:- Bummer! Make sure you return a nicely formatted string

method.rb 
def mod(a, b)
  c = a % b
  puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}"
end
puts mod(5, 4)

First, just to note: You don't need to call the function.

Your first issue is that you are printing the message instead of returning it. You also forgot to add a period at the end of the string:

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