Hi There.

There are a few of mistakes happening here.

  • First, the challenge wants you to return the string, and you are using puts.
  • Second, the challenge wants you to return a very specific string, which you are not.
  • Third, the formula used to find the modulo needs to come before the string in order for the string to work with interpolation, and the challenge did not want the formula returned.

Below is the corrected code for your reference. I hope it makes sense.

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

Keep coding! :)

Thank you I see the difference. I was returning the equation instead of the sentence.
