Why are there extra lines in the view when using the .each method?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Reading the Rails documentation. There is an example of displaying all articles on the page. For this, the following code is used:

<% @articles.each do |article| %>
    <tr>
      <td><%= article.title %></td>
      <td><%= article.text %></td>
    </tr>
  <% end %>

But, for some reason, along with the necessary output, the array itself is also output, as if I output it using the 'p' method. Actually, why?

Answer 1

Because you actually have <%= on the first line, not <%.
