Hi Sachin,

I'll explain the answer to the challenge here, if that's not what's causing the probem, please let me know.

This challenge is wanting you to create a method that returns a string explaining the remainder of dividing two numbers.

There are three variables, two are passed in as parameters and the other you calculate. So, first calculate the remainder of dividing the two parameters, a and b, and assign that to a variable called c.

Then use string interpolation to add the values of these threee variables in the string provided. To do this, add a hash, then the variable name inside curly braces #{var}.

The method looks like:

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

I hope that helps - if not, please say!

Steve.
