Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHi Leonardo,
You've pretty much got it, but if you wanted to do it this way, you would need to declare the c variable before the output of the sentence.
However, the code challenges are very picky and strict, and this is not the way it wants it done. First, the challenge wants you to return the sentence (you have puts). Second, the challenge wants you to "return the remainder inside the sentence" (note the keyword 'inside'). Therefore, you cannot create a c variable to do the math... it must be done inside the sentence. Third, there is a missing period at the end of the sentence.
So, although your coded sentence is valid, this is what the challenge is looking for:
def mod(a, b)
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a % b}."
end
Keep Coding! :)

cvariable but it does need to come before the output as you mentioned.Jason Anders

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsThanks Jason,
I didn't even try using the variable just because of the way the question was worded, and I was sure I remember getting a bummer (back when I did this course) when I tried the variable thing.
Anyways, good to know that it can be either/or for this challenge. Thanks. :)
