This example visualizes Ruby method lookup by displaying the ancestor chain for a given class and method. It shows the hierarchy of `Array < Enumerable < Object < Kernel` and highlights which ancestors define the queried method, using plain text output. The code relies on Ruby’s reflection APIs, including `ancestors`, `instance_methods`, and `singleton_methods`, to inspect class relationships. It prints a search log that marks each ancestor as defining the method as an instance or singleton method, or not at all, making the inheritance behavior explicit.
