Ruby methods Mod Challenge Task 1 - not sure what is needed...

Not sure what is needed, tried like 15 different options already to prepare the Mod Method (see the challenge description). Is there any way to get any tips, etc.? I tried typing in the same code into workspaces, and it works, but my answer is not being accepted (+ nothing comes up when I click "preview")

method.rb 
def mod (a, b)
  puts "Remainder of #{a} divided by #{b}:"
  return a % b
end
puts mod (3, 2)

Hi Michael,

You need to remove spaces in between mod (a, b) and mod (3, 2)

Should be like this mod(a,b) and mod(3, 2)

def mod(a, b)
  puts "Remainder of #{a} divided by #{b}:"
  return a % b
end
puts mod(3, 2)

Hope that helps, minor mistake. :open_mouth:
