confusing use of "p " in String#start_with? documentation

Bug #6553: confusing use of "p " in String#start_with? documentation

Added by nathanst (Nathan Stratton Treadway) over 13 years ago. Updated over 13 years ago.

Target version:

Backport:
[ruby-core:45459]

Description

The three code samples given for the starts_with?() method (for the String class) all start with "p ". This is the only code sample in that page that uses that idiom, and the examples show the values returned by the expressions using the "#=>" syntax anyway, so I'm wondering if there is any reason not to remove those "p " calls?

Nathan, thank you for reporting this issue.
Your contribution to Ruby is greatly appreciated.
May Ruby be with you.

  • string.c (rb_str_start_with): Removed "p" from start_with? examples
    to match other String method examples. [ruby-trunk - Bug #6553]
  • string.c (rb_str_end_with): Updated end_with? to use code markup
    instead of italic.
