A way to see how much time it took a particular block of code to execute
Sure almost every time I happen to always use the general approach (The only my dumb as could think of).
This is the:
import time
start_time = time.time()
... .. '''block of code to be timed''' .
end_time = time.time()
'''And then'''
total_time = start_time - end_time '''The same approach I use in every other lang. as well'''
The above wouldn't look tiresome until you have check the execution time of different blocks of code.
So what if there was a better way to do this, well thing is I didn't try checking, I think I've seen someone use a better approach with matlab, but then I decided to write something I could call my own, though not perfect but yea it kindof feels better (maybe because it came from me).
Implented in python and can be done in any other language:
#Summary
-
It takes the object time(), and a process (name)
- tm = timer()
- tm.s_time([process name]) '''process name is optional if s_time would be used just once'''
-
'process name' and 'start time' are stored in a list and tuple respectively
-
If tm.s_time() is called again this time with a process name the step directly above is repeated
-
The block of code is executed
-
Then
tm.total_time([pNum], [fmt]), this is also called with two optional parameter:- The number of 'proc. name' we are trying to get the total of
- Option to get a formated output which is already set to True
-
This will return output in string format which is thereby printable
