Method: Benchmark.measure

Defined in:

lib/benchmark.rb

.measure(label = "") ⇒ Object

Returns the time used to execute the given block as a Benchmark::Tms object. Takes label option.

require 'benchmark'

n = 1000000

time = Benchmark.measure do
  n.times { a = "1" }
end
puts time

Generates:

0.220000   0.000000   0.220000 (  0.227313)
