How should my sentence be formated?

Question

I get bummer on my code because it is not formatted correctly. It seems to me that the sentence comes out like it should. What am I doing wrong?
```method.rb
def mod(a, b)
  puts "The remainder of #{a} divded by #{b} is "
  return a % b
end
puts mod(9, 4)
```

Right now, your code is returning two lines, and not a complete sentence:
ruby
The remainder of 9 divded by 4 is
1

You want to have it all returned as one line as a complete sentence. Do something like this: 
ruby
def mod(a, b)
  return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a % b}."
end

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