I don't see what is wrong in my code

I got help from Steve Hunter, but it was to complex, I need a simpler answer.

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

mod(5,2)

After c: in the string you need to do the calculation to find the remainder of a divided by b, which would look like #{a % b}. Hope that helps!
