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

mod It's saying wrong number of expected arguments

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

Hi Mario,

Firstly, in your code c is not defined. So I would start by defining c according to the prompt.

Secondly, the challenge calls for you to return the sentence, not puts.

With those 2 things in mind, give it another try! Otherwise, I can explain it further if needed.

Return, versus puts tripped me up today, too.

Gotta watch the specific language in the prompt.
