Arrow Time have passed.
Hey there, I have asked this somewhere else but I will be asking here too:

How do I know how much time have passed since a time object?
I want a way to know how many seconds have passed?

Code:
$time = Time.now

# I leave, and come back after 3 hours.
# Now I want a method to return how much time have passed...
# It should return "10800", the number of seconds passed.


Thanks.

You can use a difference of clock values to determine the time your code ran:
ruby Code:
Original - ruby Code 
    timeStart = Time.now

# Run your code here....


timeStop = Time.now

puts (timeStart - timeStop) + " seconds have passed."
Hope that helps.

Of course, you would need to take the negative of that

Code:
timeStop - timeStart

would do the trick.

codergeek42 agrees: Errr, yeah. Sorry for the slight confusion. XD
