Hello, I don't understand what's happening thought I tried to respect the syntax in the to_s method. Can you help me?
class PhoneNumber
attr_reader :kind, :number
def initialize(kind, number)
@kind = kind
@number = number
end
def to_s
puts "#{kind}: #{number}"
end
end

First of all great job on your method and learning!
Regarding your question, The problem is coming from "puts" since puts (short for put strings) adds a newline after executing. Removing "puts" will solve the format problem.
No need to add "return <code>" as well since any statement in Ruby returns the value of the last evaluated expression. (implicit return).
