Ruby Ruby Basics (Retired) Ruby Methods Method Returns: Part 2

Returning the sum of a modulus to = "c" by calling a method.

In the previous challenge, we wrote a method that returned the remainder of two arguments when divided. That's cool, but it would be nicer if the method returned the remainder in a nice full sentence. Use string interpolation to return the remainder inside the sentence “The remainder of a divided by b is c.” where a is your “a” variable, b is your “b” variable, and c is the value of a % b.

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

mod(4, 2, 2)

Posted wrong code, forgot to change it before asking. However, I figured out the correct method:

def mod(a, b)

c = a % b

return "the answer to #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."

end

mod(3, 2)
