WHy dont you need to write puts to print in a method.
For example we have:
def to_s
full_name_with_title
end
where is the print statement here we dont use print or puts.
full_name_with_title is defined as :
def full_name_with_title
@title + " " + full_name()
end
there is not print there either

Instead, in Ruby, the last statement in a method is what that method returns (though you can explicitly write out the return keyword for the same effect, if you want). returning a value from a method makes it so you can use the value that the method generates at other places in your code, including print it out later, if you want
