544
+ just don't understand how the `yield` keyword works. Example code from the
545
+ koan:\\n\\n def many_yields\\n yield(:peanut)\\n yield(:butter)\\n
546
+ \ yield(:and)\\n yield(:jelly)\\n end\\n\\n def test_methods_can_call_yield_many_times\\n
547
+ \ result = []\\n many_yields { |item| result << item }\\n assert_equal
548
+ [:peanut, :butter, :and, :jelly], result\\n end\\n\\nI can see that `result`
549
+ is getting all four yielded values from `many_yields`, but I don't really
550
+ understand what's going on. I especially don't understand the cases where
551
+ yield is called without any values. Can somebody explain this keyword to me?\",
