```auto
array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
array.each { |x| puts x }

```

Do we have any other way to iterate?

The [enumerator](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.0.0/Enumerator.html) module is very useful, but also see [loops](https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.0.0/doc/syntax/control_expressions_rdoc.html#label-for+Loop) in documentation:

```auto
for x in array
  puts x
end

```
