Difference between puts and print for Array

+2
−0

I have an array

friends = Array.new
friends[0] = "Mad man"
friends[1] = "hey"

There's two ways to print it (using print or puts). At first I tried print

print friends

which gave:

["Mad man", "Hey"]

When I tried puts

puts friends

I got:

Mad man
Hey

I thought that the difference between puts and print is puts add a new line and, print doesn't. But, why was print directly giving output of that array (and not separating elements)?

Actually, print will add a new line if you set $\ = "\n"
