'''
The pprint.pformat function in Python is used to create a neatly formatted string representation of complex data structures.
When debugging code, especially when dealing with complex data structures, it can be very helpful to print the data in a readable format to understand its structure and content.

# A complex nested data structure
data = {
    'name': 'John Doe',
    'age': 30,
    'children': [
        {'name': 'Jane Doe', 'age': 10},
        {'name': 'Jack Doe', 'age': 8}
    ],
    'pets': [
        {'type': 'dog', 'name': 'Fido'},
        {'type': 'cat', 'name': 'Whiskers'}

        'street': '123 Main St',
        'city': 'Anytown',
        'zip': '12345'

}

# Pretty-print the data structure to a string
