I'm not able to get this.

I need to show the variable c in a return.

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

mod(5,3)

Please help

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

mod(5,3)

You do not need the puts. Replace it with return.

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