Ruby Basics --> Method Returns: Part 1 --> Task #2

The challenge task asks me to :

(Inside the "mod" method, write the necessary code to return the remainder of "a" when divided by "b." Hint: remember the "%" operator! ).

My failed attempt:

def mod(a, b) return #{a} % #{b} end

method.rb 
def mod(a, b)
  return #{a} % #{b}
end

You don't need to interpolate the variables. 

def mod(a,b)
  return a % b
end

def mod(a, b)
  return a % b
end

There's no need for the #{} like what Pete Cass said
