How can I print a dictionary over multiple lines in Godot?

To print a dictionary over multiple lines in Godot, you can iterate through its key-value pairs and print each pair on a new line. Here's how you can achieve this using GDScript:

1. Iterate Through the Dictionary:

- Use a for loop to iterate through the dictionary's keys. For each key, access its corresponding value.

2. Print Each Key-Value Pair:

- Inside the loop, use the print() function to output each key-value pair. You can format the output as needed, such as "key: value".

3. Example GDScript Code:

func print_dictionary_multiline(dictionary):
  for key in dictionary:
    var value = dictionary[key]
    print(str(key) + ": " + str(value))

# Example usage:
var my_dictionary = {
  "name": "John Doe",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "New York"
}
print_dictionary_multiline(my_dictionary)

4. Explanation:

- The print_dictionary_multiline function takes a dictionary as input.

- The for key in dictionary: loop iterates through each key in the dictionary.

- var value = dictionary[key] retrieves the value associated with the current key.

- print(str(key) + ": " + str(value)) prints the key and value, converted to strings, separated by a colon and a space, each on a new line.

5. Output:

- When you run this code, the output in the Godot console will be:

name: John Doe
age: 30
city: New York

This method ensures that each key-value pair is printed on a separate line, making it easier to read and debug your dictionaries in Godot.
