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.

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