Instance Method Details

#examine(binding = TOPLEVEL_BINDING) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Starts an interactive IRB session examining the current object and its context. This instance method provides a convenient way to debug objects without explicitly passing bindings.

Examples:

Examine the current object

my_object.examine

Examine a specific variable

data = [1, 2, 3]
data.examine  # Inspects just the 'data' variable

Parameters:

  • binding (Binding, nil) (defaults to: TOPLEVEL_BINDING) —

    The binding context to examine (defaults to TOPLEVEL_BINDING)
