def mod(a, b)

Hey Juan,

Remember the challenges are extremely picky and very strict. There are two things that need a quick fix. While your code is correct in syntax, the challenge wants you to return the sentence, but you used puts. Second, there is a period missing at the end of the sentence. Change/add those and you're good to go.

:) :dizzy:

Jason Anders Thanks alot! I did try return at the beginning but it wasn't passing but I guess it was because of the period!

I appreciate your help! Thanks!
