Remainder of a" divided by b is c. "a" is your a variable, b is your b variable, and c is the v of a%b How does it look?

Hey guyz,

Simple question. how the code should look like in the that task from above. I need to create a method called "mod" which takes two arguments "according to the error message" and create a string that interpolates 3 arguments.

How to create c

So in the previous challenge you used 'c = a % b' to return a value for 'c'. In this one you need to use #{} around the variables so that they show up in a sentence (string interpolation).

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

Please let me know if you need additional clarification or vote best answer if this was all the help you need... thanks!! : )
