I am triying to return the remainder of two arguments inside a sentence but am getting the error "Make sure you return a nicely formatted string." Please help
def mod(a, b)
c = a % b
puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
return c
end
mod(7, 2)

The question wants you to return the formatted string, not output it. So, change puts
to return
or just leave the string as the last line in the method;
def mod(a, b)
c = a % b
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end
or this - Ruby returns the value of the last line of the method if there's no specific return
command:
def mod(a, b)
c = a % b
"The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end
