bm(label_width = 0, *labels) private

A simple interface to the #benchmark method, #bm generates sequential reports with labels. label_width and labels parameters have the same meaning as for #benchmark.

require 'benchmark'

n = 5000000
Benchmark.bm(7) do |x|
  x.report("for:")   { for i in 1..n; a = "1"; end }
  x.report("times:") { n.times do   ; a = "1"; end }
  x.report("upto:")  { 1.upto(n) do ; a = "1"; end }
end
