#pretty_inspect(max_level = 999) ⇒ Object

This gem extends Object::inspect to “pretty” inspect

arrays and hashes.

Example: (copy this to irb)
  require 'pretty_inspect'
  require 'bigdecimal'
  class X
    def initialize
      @y = BigDecimal(31.41592653589796,4)
      @f = false
      @t = true
      @g = 3.141592653589796
      @n = nil
    end
  end
  puts (['a','b',{1=>'a',2=>X.new},'c'].pretty_inspect)

Yields:
  [
    "a",
    "b",
    {
      1=>"a",
      2=><X:47374925831780
        @f===false,
        @t===true,
        @g===3.141592653589796,
        @n===nil,
        @y=31.42
      >
    },
    "c"
  ]
