Difference between puts and print for Array

I have an array
```
friends = Array.new
friends[0] = "Mad man"
friends[1] = "hey"
```
~~There's two way to print them using `print` or, `puts`. At first I had tried with `print`~~
```
print friends
```
~~When I had run above command my output was like~~
>["Mad man", "Hey"]
~~But, when I try `puts`. My output is ok.~~
```
puts friends
```
Output :
>Mad man<br/>Hey
~~I know that difference between `puts` and `print` is `puts` add a new line and, `print` doesn't. But, why `print` was directly giving output of that array (not separating them)?~~

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<br/>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)?
