Thanks,

One thing I do not see.

If I want to run this with a function with a argument.

-module(time).

-export([elapsed_time/1]).

elapsed_time(F) ->
     Begintime = erlang:monotonic_time(),
     F(),
     Endtime = erlang:monotonic_time(),
     Time = erlang:convert_time_unit(Endtime - Begintime,native , 
micro_seconds),
     io:format("This took ~w microseconds", [Time]).

This is the wrong way to do this :

time:elapsed_time((Answer = fun(x) -> x + 2 end )2).

Can I solve this by chancing the function to this elapsed_time(F, arg)  
and then do F(arg) ?

Roelof

time:elapsed_time((Answer = fun(x) -> x + 2 end )2).

time:elapsed_time((Answer = fun(x) -> x + 2 end )2).
