Subject: newbie, to_s question

Hi all, I have this class:

class Tactic
     attr_reader :name, :cells
     class Cell
         attr_reader :x, :y, :position, :playerId
         attr_writer :x, :y, :position, :playerId
         def initialize(x, y, position)
             @x = x
             @y = y
             @playerId = 0
             @position = position
         end

         def to_s
             puts "(#@x, #@y): #@position, #@playerId"
         end
     end

     def loadDefaultTactic
	file = File.new('tactics.dat')
	# Identificador de la tactica
	@name = file.readline
	# Posiciones
	file.each(';') {
	    |line| coords = line.split(',')
	    x, y = coords[0].to_i, coords[1].to_i
	    @cells << Cell.new(x, y, getPosition(x, y))
	}
	file.close
     end

     def initialize
         @cells = Array.new
         # TODO Hay que leer el fichero de datos y cargar la tactica por defecto
     end

     def to_s
	puts "#@name"
     end
end


I do:

tactic = Tactic.new
tactic.loadDefaultTactic
puts tactic

and get:

4-4-2
#<Tactic:0xb78db8fc>


Why do I get the internal representation of Tactic?

Why is not the response '4-4-2' only?

4-4-2
