Is there anything wrong with my code?

9,369 PointsOh sorry, Didn't notice I didn't add the code in. Do let me know why this answer isn't working. Thanks!
def mod(a, b)
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a%b}"
end

Instead of #{a%c}, should it instead be #{a%b}?

9,369 PointsAh I have found out the mistake, apparently I need to set
c = a % b
first before inserting #{c} into the puts statement

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Kai,
The only issues is that you're missing a period to end the sentence. The challenge is looking for an exact match on the string and the example in the instructions has a period at the end.
Sometimes the challenges are a little lenient and will accept answers without things like periods but the best thing to do is always try to match the output exactly.
