Hi, I have two questions, kindly reply.

following are the steps:
rvm use 1.9.3
Using /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0

then rails c

then following things.

first, how can i get nsec for this statement? ,

to_i * 10000000 + nsec / 100 - TICKS_SINCE_EPOCH
I tried this Time.new.nsec, it gave me some string. So I tried to use this in following line and it gave me this error.

to_i * 10000000 + Time.new.nsec / 100 - TICKS_SINCE_EPOCH

then it says:

undefined local variable or method 'to_i' for main:Object

kindly guide me how to calculate ticks in ruby thanks a lot,
regards,
MK.
