Subject: [ruby-talk:11037] to_s and <<

list = [1, 2.3, 'four', false]
puts list

Results in

1
2.3
four
false

So far, so good.

s = "and the answer is: "
list.each {|item| s << item }
puts s

gives me

testltlt.rb:4:in `<<': failed to convert Float into String (TypeError)
testltlt.rb:4
testltlt.rb:4:in `each'
testltlt.rb:4

Why?
