timing python code code example

Example 1: python time code

import time

t0 = time.time()
code_block
t1 = time.time()

total = t1-t0

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: how to use timeit in python 3

import timeit
import_module = "import random"
testcode = ''' 
def test(): 
    return random.randint(10, 100)
'''
print(timeit.repeat(stmt=testcode, setup=import_module))

Example 4: python timer

import time
timer_length = float(input("How many seconds would you like you're timer to be set for? "))
time.sleep(timer_length)
print("Done!")
