total-time 0.0.5

A simple timer module to measure your program's elapsed time.

total_time Module

The total_time module provides a simple way to measure elapsed time in your Python programs. It includes functions to start a timer, stop it, and calculate the total elapsed time.

Functions

start()

This function initializes the timer by recording the current time. Call this function when you want to start measuring time.

end()

This function stops the timer by recording the current time as the end time. If you haven't called start() before calling end(), this function will not work correctly.

total()

This function calculates and returns the total elapsed time in seconds from when start() was called to when end() was called.

• If end() has not been called yet, it will automatically call end() before calculating the total time.

ttotal()

This function prints a message indicating how long the operation took. The message will state: total = total elapsed time in seconds from when start() was called to when end() was called "It took the computer {total} seconds."

• If you have not called end() before using this function, it will automatically call end() first to ensure accurate timing.

Usage Example

Here’s a quick example of how to use the total_time module:

import total_time

start()
# ... your code here ...
end()
ttotal()
