Measuring the elapsed time

This Ruby code measures how long it takes to display the message "hello world".
def test_method(statement)
  start_time = Time.now
  eval(statement)
  end_time = Time.now
  end_time - start_time
end

statement = "sleep 1.5; puts 'hello world'"
elapsed_time = test_method(statement)
puts "elapsed time : #{elapsed_time}"

output
