Subject: Print and puts. What inputs do they require?

print while gets != "42\n"

I saw this code snippet as the answer to the first question on codechef.

How does print know to output what "gets" receives? I thought you
required a string in the form of a variable or string literal in front
of print. Also, when replacing print with puts how come it doesn't
output the numbers any more? I know that puts adds a newline to the end
of a string if it doesn't exist, but from the example above this doesn't
seem to be the only difference. Sorry for the newbish questions but I
would
appreciate the help! Thanks.
