Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsHi David,
Looks good, just you need to follow their string interpolation specifically like "The remainder of a divided by b is c.”
Example:
"The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
You don't have to add puts, return and colon : in which Ruby will do itself.
Something like this:
# 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.
def mod(a, b)
c = a % b
"The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end
Hope that helps.
