Python-How to measure time elapsed?

686    Asked by RutujaMishra in Python , Asked on Apr 6, 2021

How python measure time elapsed by using the timeit module if I want to start counting time somewhere in my code and then get the passed time? I think I am using the module wrong.

import timeit

start = timeit.timeit()

print "hello"

end = timeit.timeit()

print end - start

To measure the elapsed wall-clock time between 2 points, you may use time.time():

The following code gives the execution time in seconds:

import time

start = time.time()

print("hello")

end = time.time()

print(end - start)

Note:

To measure time elapsed during program's execution, either use time. clock() or time. time() functions. The python docs state that this function should be used for benchmarking purposes.
