Subject: Re: What does << do?

The answer is, "it depends on what @rooms is". In Ruby, (almost)
everything's an object, so when you write "@rooms << ...", you're
actually invoking the "<<" method on "@rooms".

If @rooms is an Array, for example, then << will append to the end of
the array, which is probably what's happening here.
