Hi there,

You've pretty much got that done ... you just need to to put the result of a % b into the interpolation or create a new variable and include that, like c = a % b. You end up with something like:

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

Or with a new variable:

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

Make sense?

Steve.
