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.
def mod(a, b)
a = 5
b = 4
a / b
c = a % b
return "the remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}"
#write your code here
end

2,001 Pointsunbelievable, that actually worked lol
i think my logic was right too

2,001 Pointsmy mistake was that I was making C a variable too, i would like to know was my logic wrong or it wasn't a suitable answer for the task.

10,249 PointsI believe your logic is fine too, but why you a / b inside the method?
ahsan waseem
2,001 Pointsi used a/b because i wanted to divide the two first and then have the remainder and assign it to c variable
