Reproduce process:

1. Create a file (.rb)
2. Add the below code
3. Run with syntax - ruby .rb

your ruby version (ruby -v):
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26) [x86_64-linux-gnu]

reproducible ruby script:

y=1

loop do
	y += 1
	next unless y%2==0
	puts y
	break if y > 10
end

Result of reproduce process:

2
4
6
8
10
12
[Finished in 0.0s]

Expected result and the reason why you expect:

2
4
6
8
10
[Finished in 0.0s]

Reason is when the condition "y > 10" is met, the code should exit from there, tested with both "break" and "exit". result is same.

The code is working as expected.

There are many ways to provide your preferred output. One way is to place the break statement before the puts statement.

[shevegen (Robert A. Heiler)]

Yes, works as the code specifies, not a bug, so misfiled.

I anyone wants to test via copy/paste into IRB, here is a slightly reformatted variant:

y = 1

loop do
  y += 1
  next unless y % 2==0
  puts y
  break if y > 10
end
