Subject: Re: puts and return

The reason it doesn't work as you expect is because 'and' and puts.

puts' return value is nil. nil is falsy in conditions

nil and true #=> nil

and you are getting there:

(nil and break) if i > 5
 which means break will never happen.

use ( puts(""); break ) if condition # if you want to achieve that, or 
better yet

 if condition
  puts("")
  break
 end

if thats more clear
