When I create a hash and return it using awesome_print, at the end I get a hash rocket and the 'nil' value.
2.0.0-p481 :006 > h = {"hello" => "world"}
=> {"hello"=>"world"}
2.0.0-p481 :007 > ap h
{
"hello" => "world"
}
=> nil
When Jason creates a hash and returns it using awesome_print, at the end he gets a hash rocket and the hash repeated.
1.9.3-p125 :005> h = {"hello" => "world"}
=> {"hello"=>"world"}
1.9.3-p125 :006> ap h
{
"hello"=>"world"
}
=> {"hello"=>"world"}
Any ideas on why mine is different?

10,029 PointsI edited my original post to show how Jason's is different.
So you see, it's not really about putting "ap h", it's why at the end I have
=>niland Jason has
=>{"hello"=>"world"}.
