There isn't anything wrong in the code, but it says it's wrong. What's going on?

Sorry if this seems vague, but I ran the code outside of the Treehouse editor and it works fine.

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

Add a period to the end of the string :) Hope it helps!

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

Your code is definitely accurate. However, pay close attention to exactly what's in the quotes of the instructions and what needs to be in your code, noting all characters. Keep up the hard work!
