Hello,

The challenge is asking you to return the remainder inside the sentence “The remainder of a divided by b is c.”

You know that Ruby functions/methods always return the value of the last statement or line of the function's/method's body. So to complete the challenge, you must return a string with the appropiate components using string interpolation ( remember #{} ) in order to substitute 'c' with the actual value of the remainder. For example, this function returns a string:

def my_function
 "Inside this function"
end

Also the explicit way to do this:

def my_function
 return "Inside this function"
end

Cheers!
