Courses Plus Student 4,336 PointsCould someone explain where I am going wrong on this method question?
My code is attached. I'm struggling to to get a, b and c to be recognised in the sentence.
def mod(a, b)
c = a % b
return c
puts "The remainder of {a} divided by {b} is {c}"
end

I'm still new here, so I don't know how to link my code, that said I can link you to my original question where I got the answer to the problem.

Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 4,336 PointsAh yes. I see. I think we must have both been overthinking it!

7,812 PointsOh yeah, one more thing: I've found that the "help" function on the problems isn't that great on picking up on previous questions asked. The work around for me when I get stuck is to take a note of the exercise name, head to the community forum and write it in there. 9/10 someone else has been stuck on the exact same thing a week earlier.
gl & hf!
