How do I inspect the methods of a Ruby object?

Question

I am wondering if there is a Ruby method call that shows only the methods defined by the Ruby object it\'s called from, as opposed to all the methods defined by its ancestor cla

Answer 1

I'm partial to obj.methods.sort but some of the other answers are better in certain cases as they describe

You can also use obj.methods.sort.grep /foo/ to find method names matching the regexp. This is helpful when you have an idea of what you're looking for.
