javascript time function code example

Example 1: time taken for a function javascript

console.time("timer");   //start time with name = timer
console.timeEnd("timer"); //end timer and log time difference

Example 2: javascript count time

// The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since midnight of January 1, 1970.


var start = new Date().getTime();

for (i = 0; i < 50000; ++i) {
// do something
}

var end = new Date().getTime();
var time = end - start;
alert('Execution time: ' + time);

Example 3: javascript set delay

setTimeout(function() {
  //your code to be executed after 1 second
}, delayInMilliseconds);

Example 4: javascript time execution

var t0 = performance.now();

doSomething();   // <---- The function you're measuring time for 

var t1 = performance.now();
console.log("Call to doSomething took " + (t1 - t0) + " milliseconds.");

Example 5: timer in javascript

//single event i.e. alarm, time in milliseconds
var timeout = setTimeout(function(){yourFunction()},10000);
//repeated events, gap in milliseconds
var interval = setInterval(function(){yourFunction()},1000);

Example 6: js setinterval

function func(){
  console.log("Ran")
}
setInterval(func,1000)//Runs the "func" function every second
