Bryan Oakley help

Hello Bryan
in your answer to my question you wrote

"The result of a puts statement is the empty string, and that is what
you see in the text widget. What you see in the console is the effect
of the puts command, not the result of the puts command. Those are
two different things."

I understood that " The result of a puts statement is the empty
string, and that is what you see in the text widget "

However i did not pay enough attention to the rest of the your text:
   " What you see in the console is the effect of the puts command,
not the result of the puts command. Those are two different things."

i tried hard to understand the difference in this case of

is the effect
not the result

could you please explain to me the difference because
i failed to understand.
looking forward to read you
Thank you in advance
