python time function call code example

Example 1: python time a funciton

import time

start = time.time()
print("hello")
end = time.time()
print(end - start)

Example 2: python: measure time code

import time

# Calculate the power of two for a defined range of number
def power_two(my_range):
    return [x**2 for x in range(my_range)]
 
# Measure time
def measure_time(func):
    start = time.time()
    func()               # any specific function to measure
    end = time.time()
    print(end - start)  
    
measure_time(lambda: power_two(10000000)) # lambda permits to pass the argument of our function

Example 3: python time method

from time import sleep, time

start = time()
sleep(2)
print(format(time() - start, '.3f'), 's', sep='') # 2.003s

Example 4: time python

#import time module:
import time
#module has various attributes: 
dir(time)
[..., 'localtime', 'mktime', 'sleep', 'sleep_ms', 'sleep_us', 'ticks_add', 'ticks_cpu', 'ticks_diff', 'ticks_ms', 'ticks_us', 'time']

#default expression is in seconds with zero being start of runtime
secFromStart = time.time()
