ruby on rails - loop help

Hello. I am taking the ERB Basics challenge. I am being asked to do the following: "Loop through our statuses array in an ERB template. Assume we have statuses set up as an array and want to print out the name."

This is what's given:

<% @statuses.each do |status| %> Name: <br /> <% end %>

Not sure what to do. Both prior videos do not mention loops at all.

Basically you need to call status.name to grab the name of the people who posted the status.

<% @statuses.each do |status| %>
Name: <%= status.name %>
<% end %>
