it says to turn the quotient of a and b into a string, so thats what i did. but it keeps saying i have a spelling error
def mod(a, b)
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is c."
end

a is your “a” variable, b is your “b” variable, and c is the value of a % b.
In the string you return you have typed the literal character "c", the c in the example string is just a placeholder that should in the end contain the result of a % b. Like this:
def mod(a, b)
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a % b}."
end

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