Instance Method Details
#deepest_point(h = self, steps = 0) ⇒ Object
A depth-first look to find the deepest point in the Hash. The top level Hash is counted in the total so the final number is the depth of its children + 1. An example:
ahash = { :level1 => { :level2 => {} } }
ahash.deepest_point # => 3
