Shown below is the SimpleBenchmarker class. Instantiate a variable named benchmarker which is an instance of the SimpleBenchmarker class.
I am getting an argument error on this. Anyone know why?
class SimpleBenchmarker
def run(description, &block)
start_time = Time.now
block.call
end_time = Time.now
elapsed = end_time - start_time
puts "\n#{description} results"
puts "Elapsed time: #{elapsed} seconds"
end
end
benchmarker = SimpleBenchmarker.new
benchmarker.run do
end

def run(description, &block)
benchmark.run
takes one argument description, and a block.
You haven't provided the description argument yet, that's why you're getting the Argument error.
benchmarker.run "whatever" do
end
this should fix it.

benchmarker.run "whatever" do
end
The "whatever" here is the description, you can fill it with any value you like.
