time method python code example

Example 1: 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 2: python clock

# Here is a self updating clock function, just run it and it'll self update itself until you hit CTRL-C
import datetime
import time
def clock():
    while True:
        print(datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S"), end="\r")
        time.sleep(1)

clock()

Example 3: python time seconds

import time

# seconds passed since epoch
seconds = 1545925769.9618232
local_time = time.ctime(seconds)
print("Local time:", local_time)
