I am creating a code that requires the program to time how long it runs for and then displays the time. it is basically a timer that runs in the background and I can call upon it to display how long the code has been running for. How do I do this?
You record the start time, then later on calculate the difference between that start time and the current time.
Due to platform differences, for precision you want to use the timeit.default_timer
callable :
from timeit import default_timer
start = default_timer()
# do stuff
duration = default_timer() - start
This gives you a wall-clock time duration in seconds as a floating point value.
Demo:
>>> from timeit import default_timer
>>> start = default_timer()
>>> # Martijn reads another post somewhere
...
>>> print default_timer() - start
19.1996181011
This is easy in python
import time
start_time=time.time()
#do something
end_time=time.time()-start_time
The resultant end_time
will be in seconds
I have done this, This may help you
