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

def mod(a, b)
return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{ a % b }"
end
puts mod(5, 2)
-- I used the above example to check the code since 5 % 2 = 1 and got back "The remainder of 5 divided by 2 is 1"

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 19,831 PointsYou are still missing #{ } on the letter a before divided.
I did this problem in my console so used puts to check to see if it worked with the two numbers knowing 5 % 2 = 1. I then got back "The remainder of 5 divided by 2 is 1"
Via Jason, it doesn't sound like you need to call the function for this exercise though so you can ignore that part of the code (but will still need to add a period to the end of the sentence).

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsI didn't check the challenge but I think there needed to be a period at the end of the output.

not working why puts?

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYou don't need to call the function. you only need to write the function definition.
As woodworth mentioned, you're still missing the interpolation for a
Also, it's not going to pass without a period at the end of the string.
