string

for the above code it requires nicely formatted string.

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

pay attention to their wording " In the previous challenge, we wrote a method that returned the remainder of two arguments when divided. That's cool, but it would be nicer if the method returned the remainder in a nice full sentence. Use string interpolation to return the remainder inside the sentence “The remainder of a divided by b is c.” where a is your “a” variable, b is your “b” variable, and c is the value of a % b. "

what are you supposed to return exactly ? Did it say anything about printing anything ?

hubham kumar Trivedi You should just follow the task and return string as it asked.

 return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
