Question

I have the below code that I need help with fixing this Ruby code. I am trying to iterate through these three arrays and print the array out with a label. The animals array should have the Animals header, the people should have the People header and the friends array should have the Friends header. I would also like to adjust the printout size based on the size of the elements in the array. I would like for it to look like the below.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Animals %%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Hector     Chihuahua       7
%%%%%%%%%%%%%% People %%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Jesse James     123 Homewood Drive     San Francisco      CA      510-555-1234     510-123-4567              

# A array containing animal data
animals = [
  # Column names: name, character, and points
  ['Hector','Chihuahua',7]
]

people = [
    #  Name Address City State SSN Telephone
    %w(Jesse\ James 123\ Homewood\ Home\ Drive San Francisco CA 510-555-1234 510-123-4567 )
]

friends = [
   # friends array
   %w( first_name last_name telephone address city state zip_code birthdate salary ),
   [ 'Jessica',
     'Simpson',
     '485-123-456',
     '9210 Cheery Avenue',
     'Tyler',
     'TX',
     '12345',
     '7/6/81',
     '500'
   ]
]

joined_arrays = [animals, people, friends]
array_titles = ["Animals", "People", "Friends"]
# Process each element
 
joined_arrays.each do |elem|
    elem.each {|el| puts el.join(" ")} 
end

i = 0 
while i < array_titles.length  
  puts "%" * 40 + array_titles[i] + "%" * 40
  i+=1
end

joined_arrays = [animals, people, friends]
array_titles = ["Animals", "People", "Friends"]

i = 0 
while i < array_titles.length  
  # getting array of max len
  
  puts "%" * 40+ array_titles[i] + "%" * 40
  max_len = joined_arrays[i].max_by(&:length)
  # gtting the longest string
  len_m = max_len.map(&:to_s).max_by(&:length).length.to_i
  # iterating the same position array with help if index
  # muiltiplying spcae by longest element in join function
  joined_arrays[i].each {|el| puts el.join(" "*len_m)} 
  i+=1
  puts "\n" #remove this line if new line not required
end

#OUTPUT
