In this article, we’ll look at how to measure elapsed time in Python.
How to measure elapsed time in Python?
To measure elapsed time in Python, we can use the default_timer
function in the time_it
module.
For instance, we write
from timeit import default_timer as timer
start = timer()
# ...
end = timer()
print(end - start)
to import default_timer
as timer
.
And then we call it to get the start
and end
times.
Then we get the elapsed time in seconds between the time when the 2 lines is run by subtracting end
by start
.
The elapsed time is in seconds.
Conclusion

function in the time_it
