I am trying to write this method but it seems like it is not working
def mod(a, b)
puts "The reminder of a divided by #{b} and c. " where a is your "#{a}" variable, b is your "b" variable and c is the value of a%b"
c = a%b
return c
end
mod(5,5)

there are a few mistakes in your code. You wrote "where a is your "#{a}" variable, b is your "b" variable and c is the value of a%b" in your method, however this is part of the challenge's instruction and should not be in your code, so please remove it.
A small problem is also that you have a typo and you write "reminder" instead of "remainder", you wrote "and" instead of "in" and that you have a space in the end of your string which shouldn't be there.
You should also interpolate the variables a and c in your string but you only interpolated b. In order to be able to interpolate c you have to assign the value of a % b to c before the string.
The last two problems are that you're returning the remainder but the challenge wants you to return the string and that you don't have to call the method yourself, this will be done automatically when the challenge is evaluated. :)
If you do all of this it should look like this:
def mod(a, b)
c = a % b
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end
Good luck! :)
