Subject: PrettyPrint Array  ?

I'm trying to make my own simple assert, but have problem displaying 
arrays.
  assert "123", [1,2,[3]].to_s

Is there a method or function x, fullfilling these requirements
  assert "[1,2,[3]]", [1,2,[3]].x
  assert "[1,2,[3]]", x([1,2,[3]])
  assert "1", x(1)
  assert "a", x("a")
or some of them?

There is no problem with the comparison as
  assert [1,2,[3]], [1,2,[3]]

The problem appears when displaying different values:
  assert [1,2,[3]], [1,2,3]

...
expect: 123
actual: 123
...

which is not very helpful.

This is the definition of my assert:

def assert(expect, actual)
 expect==actual ? print(".") : print("\nexpect: #{expect}\nactual: 
#{actual}\n")
end

This is probably very easy, but I haven't found anything.
