Stuck on defining "C" variable

Hello All,

Really stuck on this exercise. I'm stumped by how to define "C" variable. Any help is appreciated!

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

mod(4, 2)

Try this:

def mod (a, b) 

 c = a % b
 puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}."
end

mod(4, 2)

By the looks of it, your c variable is undefined when you are calling it and you are trying to return the result of assigning a variable.
