Wrong result on methods exercise

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

When I try it on my computer works just fine, but the code is not validated on the challenge

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

Hey Fernando,

Your code may be valid but these challenge prompts are specific.

Take a look at this accepted answer:

c = a % b
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."

Notice the variable c? The prompt is looking for that variable when testing your input.

Thanks Jacob, apparently this was the issue. Now it got accepted with the c variable defined!!
