Bug #6553: confusing use of "p " in String#start_with? documentation

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: 1.9.3

[nathanst (Nathan Stratton Treadway)]

The three code samples given for the starts_with?() method (for the String class) all start with "p ". This is the only code sample in that page that uses that idiom, and the examples show the values returned by the expressions using the "#=>" syntax anyway, so I'm wondering if there is any reason not to remove those "p " calls?
