WordPress function not formatting code properly

I have a custom post type in WordPress and I'm using a loop in a function so that I can call the listings using a shortcode.

I am adding to a string using .= as I have read around that this is the best way to do it.

The problem is that it isn't formatting the code in the correct format, please see code below.

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'gms_product', 'posts_per_page' => 30 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );

function get_the_products() {
    global $loop;
    $code = '';
    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
        $code .=    '<a href="#"><h3>'.the_title().'</h3></a>';
    endwhile;
    return $code;
}

The output looks like this.

post1post2 <a href="#"><h3></h3></a><a href="#"><h3></h3></a>

Try with get_the_title()

$code .=    '<a href="#"><h3>'.get_the_title().'</h3></a>';
