Why doesn't puts() print in a single line?

Question

This is a piece of code:

def add(a, b) 
  a + b;
end

print \"Tell number 1 : \"
number1 = gets.to_f

print \"and number 2 : \"
number2 = gets.to_f

puts \"#{num

Puts adds a newline to the end of the output. Print does not. Try print.

You might also want to replace gets with gets.chomp.

puts "After entering something, you can see the the 'New Line': "
a = gets
print a

puts "After entering something, you can't see the the 'New Line': "
a = gets.chomp
print a
