In the code about numprint, you use "puts" instead of "print". Why?
My book gives "puts" equivalent to $stdout.puts(obj,..) and "print" prints each object in turn to $stdout.
puts() appends a newline to the object unless it already has one. print() doesn't.
And why do you use "unless" in the code for numprint and not here ?
Not read the other code, but probably because he's first checking for the existence of something, and thus wanting the if to bail out at that point before checking the second statement.
