n.times do returns value of n

Question

I have a problem with my code, I want it to display n number of stars. It display the right number of stars, plus the integer like ***3 I only want ***

show.html.slim

= article.rating_average.times do
  span
  i.fa.fa-star

Answer 1

Change = to - :

- article.rating_average.times do
  %span.fa.fa-star

• = evaluates code and prints the returned value ( 3 is a return value of article.rating_average.times {} )
• - just evaluates code (gives you 3 stars without the returned value printed)
