Python Program to Measure the Elapsed Time in Python - 2023

Hey guys, in this blog we will see a Python Program to Measure the Elapsed Time in Python.

Table of Contents

Example 1: Using the time module

import time

start = time.time()
print(113*14.24)
end = time.time()

print(end - start)

Output

1609.1200000000001
0.0

In this example, we will use the time module to measure elapsed time for an operation.
Before the operation, we will define a start time object using time.time().
Similarly, when the operation is done, we will define an end time object using time.time().

from timeit import default_timer as timer

start = timer()
print(113*14.24)
end = timer()

print(end - start)

Output

1609.1200000000001
0.00025229999999965

Here also we are doing something similar but using a different python module.
Here we have used timeit.default_timer module to measure start and end time.
Finally calculating the time elapsed by subtracting the start time from the end time.
